configuration method described in the instructions that come with that adapter to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices.

See the documentation on the ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD for additional information about how to use the SCSI HostRAID feature.

Configuring the controller

Complete the following steps to use the SCSI HostRAID feature to configure a

RAID level-10 array:

Note: You must have at least four hard disk drives installed in the server to configure a RAID level-10 array.

1.From the SCSISelect Utility main menu, select Configure/View HostRAID Settings.

2.From the list of ready drives, type C to create an array.

3.Select RAID-10when asked to select the RAID type.

4.From the list of ready drives, select the two drives that you want to group into the array.

5.Select Stripe Size.

6.Type an identifier for the array.

7.Select Yes if the array is bootable.

8.Select Yes to create the array.

9.Press Esc to exit the utility.

10.Restart the server.

Viewing the configuration

You can use the SCSISelect Utility program to view information about the SCSI controller. From the list of available arrays, select an array and press Enter. Press Esc to exit the utility.

Using the Boot Menu program

The Boot Menu program is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program that you can use to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Complete the following steps to use the Boot Menu program:

1.Turn off the server.

2.Restart the server.

3.Press F12.

4.Select the startup device.

The server returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program the next time the server starts or after the temporary settings expire.

Configuring the Ethernet controllers

The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or
