Quick Hardware Installation Guide
Step 5 - Set Jumpers
Make sure the jumper settings on the MegaRAID Enterprise 1600 card are correct. Jumper setting details can be found in the Enterprise 1600 Hardware Guide.
Step 6 - Set SCSI Termination
Each MegaRAID SCSI channel can be individually configured for termination enable mode by setting the J2, J3, J5 and J7 jumpers.
You must terminate the SCSI bus properly. Set termination at both ends of the SCSI cable. The SCSI bus is an electrical transmission line and must be terminated properly to minimize reflections and losses. Typical configuration is to set the Termination Enable jumpers to allow software to set termination automatically.
Note: The default jumper settings on the controller for both Termination and TermPWR normally do not need to be changed.
Step 7 - Set SCSI Terminator Power (TermPWR)
Important - All MegaRAID Enterprise 1600 SCSI channels need TermPWR to operate. If a channel is not being used, make sure the TermPWR jumper for that channel is set to supply TermPWR from the PCI bus. Jumpers J9, J10, J11, and J12 control TermPWR on the Enterprise 1600.
Step 8 - Connect the Battery Harness (Optional)
You can install a battery pack onto the Series 471 MegaRAID Enterprise 1600 160M RAID controller. Call Technical Support at
Step 11 - Set Target IDs
Set target identifiers (TIDs) on the SCSI devices. Each device in a specific SCSI channel must have a unique TID in that channel.
Step 12 - Power Up
Replace the computer cover and reconnect the AC power cords. Turn power on to the host computer. Set up the power supplies so the SCSI devices are powered up at the same time as or before the host computer. If the computer is powered up before a SCSI device, the device might not be recognized.
During boot, the MegaRAID Enterprise 1600 BIOS message appears:

The <Ctrl> <M> prompt times out after several seconds.
The MegaRAID Enterprise 1600 host adapter (controller) number, firmware version and cache DRAM size are displayed in the second portion of the BIOS message. The numbering of the controllers follows the PCI slot scanning order used by the host motherboard.
