System Installation and Setup
This chapter describes how to install and set up a DIGITAL HiTest System configured from
this DIGITAL HiTest Suite. System preparation includes installing hardware, operating
system, management station, and applications.
Hardware Installation
The Prioris MX 6200 Series Server System Reference provides instructions for installing your
Prioris MX 6200 system. Chapter 7 of this HiTest Note provides additional information
specific to the minimum and maximum configurations of this HiTest Suite.
_____________________________ Note____________________________
If you are using RAID in your Prioris MX 6200, you must load parameters into
the RAID controller firmware and then configure the RAID arrays (RAIDsets).
For more information, refer to the SCSI RAID Controller Setup section and the
RAID Array Configuration section. If you are not using RAID, the Operating
System can be installed as soon as the Prioris MX 6200 hardware is installed. For
more information on installing the Operating System, refer to the Operating
System Installation section.

SCSI RAID Controller Setup
After installing your base system, and prior to configuring your RAID array, you must
perform a one-time setup to load parameters into the controller firmware. Configure the
controller using the RAID Array 230/PLUS RAID Configuration Utility (RA200RCU.EXE).
Refer to the RAID Arrays 230/Plus Subsystem RAID Configuration Utility User’s Guide for
details on using the RAID Configuration Utility and RAID.
To configure the controller:
1. Boot the Prioris MX 6200 system.
2. Insert the RAID Array 230/Plus SW RX23 diskette into your floppy drive.
3. Run RA200RCU.EXE.
4. Choose Controller Setup from the Main Menu of the RAID Controller Utility (RCU).
5. Choose the default settings for hardware parameters, data parameters, SCSI transfer
parameters, and startup parameters.
6. Press ESC to exit. If you change settings, RCU prompts you to save the altered
controller configuration.
