6.1.2Installing hard disk drives

The motherboard supports SCSI hard disk drives for RAID set configuration. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.

To install the SCSI hard disks for RAID configuration:

1.Install the SCSI hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system user guide.

2.Connect the SCSI interface cable connectors at the back of the SCSI drives.

3.Connect the other end of the SCSI interface cable to the SCSI connector on the motherboard.

Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.

6.1.3RAID configuration utilities

Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using the utilities embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the Adaptec SCSISelect (TM) Utility! if you installed SCSI hard disk drives to the SCSI connector(s) supported by the Adaptec® AIC-7902W RAID controller (PVL-D/1U/SCSI model). Refer to the succeeding sections for details on how to use each RAID configuration utility.
