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 that 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 BIOS message appears:

MegaRAID Enterprise 1600 Disk Array Adapter BIOS Version x.xx date Copyright (c) LSI Logic Corporation

Firmware Initializing... [ Scanning SCSI Device ...(etc.)... ]

The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time the adapter will scan each SCSI channel. When it is ready, the following lines appear:

Host Adapter-1 Firmware Version x.xx DRAM Size 16 MB 0 Logical Drives found on the Host Adapter

0 Logical Drives handled by BIOS

Press <Ctrl><M> to run MegaRAID Enterprise BIOS Configuration Utility

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.

Step 13 Run MegaRAID Configuration Utility

Press <Ctrl> <M> to run the MegaRAID Configuration Utility. See the MegaRAID Configuration Software Guide for information about running MegaRAID Configuration Utility.
