Getting Started Getting Started 1 Intended Audience This documentation is intended for users who are experienced in configuring computer systems with new add-in cards or have had previous experience with Intel® Integrated RAID (IIR) Controllers. Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and the other documents in the user documentation set supplied with this product. 1.
Getting Started Clustering Guide Clustering is applicable only for those RAID controllers that support this feature. See the Hardware Guide to determine if clustering is supported. The Intel® Integrated RAID Controller Clustering Guide, or Clustering Guide, describes how to set up clustering configurations using IIR Controllers and IIR controller software. Information on Operating Systems, Cluster functionality, and other system details may be found in their corresponding system manuals. 1.1.

Hardware Installation Hardware Installation 2.1 2 About this Chapter This chapter provides information on installing the IIR controller, programming the Flash memory, and general SCSI termination information. 2.2 Installation Procedures Warning: Do not attempt to insert your RAID controller into any non RAIDIOS-enabled PCI slot. Doing so may cause damage to your controller and/or your computer. Please consult your motherboard documentation about availability of RAIDIOS-enabled PCI slots.
Hardware Installation Figure 2-1. IIR Controller Component Layout 167mm (6.57 inches) DS2A1 I/O Processor SDRAM 56mm (2.20 inches) J1B1 Flash Memory 64Bit PCI Interface (Requires a RAIDIOS-enabled PCI slot) 2.2.2 Installing the IIR Controller 1. Power-off the computer system. 2. Disconnect power cord(s) and remove the system cover. 3. Install the IIR controller into an available RAIDIOS-enabled PCI slot. See Figure 2-2.
Hardware Installation Figure 2-2. Installing the IIR Controller into a Computer System RAIDIOS-ENABLED PCI 2.3 Programming the Flash Memory The IIR controller normally comes ready to be installed into the computer motherboard immediately. However, you may need to reprogram the RAID firmware that is located in the flash memory of the IIR controller. There are 2 options for programming the firmware, Firmware Update or Firmware Recovery.
Hardware Installation 2.5 Configurable Disk Drive SCSI Parameters When a SCSI hard disk drive is initialized the first time by the RAID controller, its SCSI parameters are automatically set to their optimal settings. Most settings are set automatically and can not be configured manually. To view or configure disk drive SCSI parameters from the Storage Console, choose Advanced Setup Æ Configure Physical Devices Æ Select Physical Drive Æ SCSI Parameter/Initialize. Table 2-1.
Hardware Specifications and Features Hardware Specifications and Features 3 This chapter covers all the hardware specifications associated with the IIR controller and its components. Section 3.5 covers optional RAID features that are supported by the RAID Software Suite. The accompanying Software Guide covers all implemented software features. 3.

Hardware Specifications and Features Warning: †† The SRCMRU adapter, with firmware 2.34.yy-Rzzz, is not compatible with all previous controllers and firmware versions. Do not attempt RAID Array Drive Roaming between RAID controllers that are not compatible with the SRCMRU controller. Unpredictable behavior may include, but is not limited to, data loss or corruption. Compatible controllers include: • SRCU42L – Firmware version 2.34.yy-Rzzz • SRCU31LA - Firmware version 2.3x.
Hardware Specifications and Features RAID firmware limits the controller to a maximum of 30 host drives (RAID volumes) per controller. There is a minimum of at least one host drive per array drive. A host drive can only be associated with (or reside on) a single array drive. Like array drives, host drives can reside on hard disk drives that are isolated to a single channel or span both of the channels of the RAID controller. Table 3-5.
Flash Memory Programming Flash Memory Programming A.1 A Firmware Update Procedure via XROM StorCon The Storage Console (StorCon) is a full-featured monitoring and configuration utility with a text-based user interface. StorCon manages all aspects of the RAID subsystem as well as many features of the RAID adapter. Refer to the Software Guide for more details about StorCon. You can use StorCon to update the firmware image.
Flash Memory Programming Warning: Do not interrupt the update process to avoid damaging the firmware image in the Flash. If the firmware is interrupted you will need to follow the firmware recovery process in the next section. After StorCon indicates that the update is complete, press any key. 9. The focus returns to the Configure Controller submenu. Press several times to close the menus and press to quit StorCon. 10. StorCon detects the firmware update and requires a system reboot.
Flash Memory Programming 2. Change your computer’s BIOS setting so that your system boots from the CD-ROM. 3. Use the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM to flash the firmware. a. Boot the computer with the bootable RAID Software Suite CD-ROM that contains the version of the RAID firmware that you wish to recover. b. At the ROM-DOS Startup menu, select the option, Flash Recovery Utility, and press . c.
