Operations Manual 6.7 TAG Approved BIOS The BIOS (basic input/output system) is the program stored on the CMOS that the Server's microprocessor uses to get the system started after you turn it on. The BIOS also manages data flow between the computer's operating system and attached devices such as the hard disk, video adapter, keyboard, and mouse. CAUTION: The BIOS installed on your Server was loaded and tested with all the devices initially installed in your system.
Operations Manual COM1/COM2/COM3/COM4 to serial port 1 or 2. Most BIOS' also allow you to set the I/O and IRQ but this is mostly done automatically. 6.7.1.3 Floppy Drives The floppy drive(s) can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS. The BIOS also allows you to choose the capacity of the media. • • • • • 360 KB 5.25-inch 1.2 MB 5.25-inch 720 KB 3.5-inch 1.44 MB 3.5-inch 2.88 MB 3.5-inch Some BIOS' allow you to swap A: and B: and disable seeking a floppy disk for a boot sector during startup. 6.7.1.

Operations Manual 6.9 Upgrading Memory and Replacing Hot-Swap and LRU Components 6.9.1 Preventing Static Electricity This section provides procedures for replacing all Hot-Swappable and LRU components, including procedures for replacing or adding system memory. The components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can permanently damage electrostatic dischargesensitive components in your Server.
Operations Manual • • Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are ready to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of antistatic bags because only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic protection. Always hold memory modules and components by their edges or their metal mounting brackets. Avoid touching the edge connectors and components on the cards. Never slide memory modules or components over any surface. 6.

NOTE: It is important to make note of the location from which screws are removed since different screw lengths may be used to secure the cover.
Operations Manual WARNING Ensure that the system is powered-down and all power sources have been disconnected from the Server prior to removing or replacing system memory. Failure to do so could result in serious injury from electrical shock. CAUTION Printed circuit boards and hard drives contain electronic components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static from your clothes or the work environment can destroy components.

Operations Manual Chapter 4 RAID. Electronically distributed. Subject to user discretion when printed. SV-2000-X2 Server (CENTRIX / JHSV) Part Number: 1008080 Version 1.4.
Operations Manual 7 RAID RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of Inexpensive (or Independent) Disks. This section provides a high-level overview that defines RAID, the advantages and disadvantages of various RAID levels, and guidelines to observe when implementing RAID. 7.1 RAID Defined RAID is a way of storing data on two or more physical disks for the purpose of redundancy, improved performance, or both. The combined physical disks make up what is called an array.
Operations Manual 7.1.1 RAID Level 5 RAID Level 5 maps the data across the drives and stores parity information for each data stripe on different drives in the array. The parity data, labeled P in Figure , is distributed. This lessens the data congestion that occurs if all of the parity data is written to one drive. A RAID 5 array can preserve data if one drive fails. However, if two drives fail, all data in the array is lost. SV-2000-X2 Server (CENTRIX / JHSV) Part Number: 1008080 Version 1.4.
Operations Manual 7.2 Create a RAID 5 Array On Adaptec 5805 1. Power up your computer. When prompted, press Ctrl A to enter the ARC Utility.

Operations Manual 7.3 About RAID Global and Hot Spares A hot spare is a drive that is on standby in case another drive fails. Depending on how the array is configured, the drive is either picked up automatically and the array is rebuilt, or you manually select the drive (or insert a new drive in the same slot as the failed drive) and rebuild the array. How the hot spare works depends on how the array is configured. When a drive fails, the array rebuilds automatically using the hot spare.
