Manual No. 775007 3-3
Installing the Controller
m Caution
Anti-static handling procedures are required. Leave
the controller in its anti-static bag until it is time to
plug the controller into the PCI slot. The use of a
grounded wrist strap and other ESD protective
measures are highly recommended.
, WARNING
Disconnect the system from the electrical wall
outlet before opening the system cabinet. Working
with the system covers off and power applied to the
system can result in shock and serious injury.
Standard Installation
In a standard installation, the AcceleRAID 250 functions as a single-
channel, standard PCI to Ultra2 SCSI, LVD RAID controller. In a standard
installation, the AcceleRAID 250 can be installed into any system board
with an available PCI (2.1 compliant) slot.
SCSI Interrupt Steering Logic (SISL) Installation
In a SISL installation, the AcceleRAID 200 adds RAID functionality to a
system board that has one or more embedded SCSI channels. The
AcceleRAID 250 adds an Ultra2 SCSI, LVD RAID channel as well as RAID
functionality to a system board that has one or more embedded SCSI
channels. For a SISL implementation, the AcceleRAID controllers must be
plugged into a special, pre-wired PCI slot in a system board that is specially
designed for this type of installation. Check with the manufacturer of your
system board to find out if it has embedded SCSI channels that can be
controlled by a PCI to SCSI RAID controller with SCSI Interrupt Steering
Logic (a requirement for the AcceleRAID 200).
