PC Server 704 Considerations:
The 704′s internal drive bays are managed directly over the SCSI bus (rather than through a separate DASD status cable) via an intelligent SCSI processor device embedded in each internal
All devices on a single SCSI channel must be assigned a unique ID. Since the 704′s internal backplanes are themselves SCSI devices, one of the SCSI IDs on each of the ServeRAID adapter′s internal channels will be assigned to each backplane. The PC Server 704 assigns each internal
To view the ServeRAID′s current SCSI device ID assignments, please use one of the ServeRAID utilities (such as the Configuration Diskette, the Monitor utility, or the
2.5.2.3 ServeRAID Configuration Utility
The configuration utility allows you to do maintenance on your ServeRAID configuration. Boot from the diskette to run the utility. The main menu will appear (Figure 42 on page 52):
