Flash ROM An 16-MB CFI-compliant flash ROM is used to accommodate RAID firmware and RAID BIOS Console 2 OpROM. Boot Strap ROM (SEEPROM) The serial bootstrap ROM is used to configure the LSI* SAS2208 ROC before the server board configures the PCI Express* registers. The bootstrap ROM sets the Phase Lock Loop (PLL) dividers, bootstrap configuration, and so on. NVSRAM A 128-KB NVSRAM is used to store disk and drive setup information.
The optional Intel® RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit AXXRMFBU2 provides another backup option for data cached in the memory by offloading data stored in the RAM cache to the NAND flash if there is a complete AC power failure or a brief power outage. It is connected remotely to the RAID module through a supplied cable. See the figure below (for reference only). Actual shape of the product may vary from the figure. Figure 12.
Silencing the alarm is temporary. If the cause of failure still exists or if an additional failure is detected, then the alarm sounds again when the system is rebooted. Disabling the alarm is persistent across errors and reboots. When the alarm is disabled, a failure does not cause it to sound until it is re-enabled. The rebuild alarm tone functions differently. It remains ON during the rebuild. After the rebuild completes, an alarm with a different tone sounds to signal that the rebuild is complete.

Appendix A: Drive Roaming and Drive Migration Install Drive Roaming Drive roaming occurs when the hard drives are changed to different ports on the same controller. When the drives are placed on different ports, the controller detects the RAID configuration from the configuration data on the drives. Note: If you move a drive that is currently being rebuilt, the rebuild operation will restart, not resume. To use drive roaming, follow these steps: 1.
Drive Migration Drive migration moves a configured set of hard drives from one controller to another. The drives must remain on the same port and be reinstalled in the same order as in the original configuration. The controller to which you migrate the drives cannot have an existing configuration. Note: Only complete configurations can be migrated; individual virtual disks cannot be migrated. Drive roaming and drive migration cannot be supported at the same time. To migrate drives, follow these steps: 1.
Appendix B: Installation/Assembly Safety Instructions As you use your computer system, observe these safety guidelines: • Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed. • To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location.
Additional safety guidelines: • When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
