Sample RAID Configuration

Sample RAID Configuration

A RAID configuration might consist of the following:

∙Pentium Pro 200 MHz Processor w/ECC Mem Support

∙128 MB System Memory

∙PCI Ethernet Adapter (SMC8432BTA)

∙PCI Token Ring Adapter (Olicom OC-3136)

∙PCI RAID Adapter (Mylex)

∙Four 4 GB SCSI wide hard drives connected to the Mylex RAID controller

∙SCSI CD-ROM drive connected to the onboard AIC-7880 SCSI controller

Installing the Hardware

To install the hardware, follow these steps:

1.Combine the hot plug backplane.

2.Connect a wide SCSI cable between the Mylex PCI RAID adapter and the top SCSI connector on the hot plug backplane. (If a wide SCSI cable is connected between the system board and the top SCSI connector on the hot plug backplane, remove this cable.)

3.Strap the CD-ROM drive as SCSI ID 3. Insert it into the top, front 5.25- inch drive bay. Connect the power cable and the narrow SCSI cable to the CD-ROM drive.

4.Strap the four 4 GB wide drives as SCSI IDs 0, 1, 2, 3. Plug them into the hot plug backplane in drive bays 1, 2, 3, and 4 (top four hot-plug drive bays).

5.Install the memory SIMMs in banks one and two on the system baseboard (installed in groups of two SIMMs).

6.Install the PCI RAID Adapter in PCI slot 1 (topmost PCI slot).

7.Install the PCI Token Ring Adapter in PCI slot 2.
