Configuring Your System 3-23
Add-on Controller
If you are adding a RAID controller to an existing system, the AcceleRAID™
150 or AcceleRAID™ 250 BIOS Configuration Utility allows you to configure
disk arrays and logical drives in your system. Since the utility resides in the
AcceleRAID™ 150 or AcceleRAID™ 250 BIOS on the RAID controller, its
operation is independent of the operating system in your server. Refer to
Chapter 4 in this User's Guide for information on installing an add-in option
board. Refer to Chapter 4 of the AcceleRAID™ 150 or AcceleRAID™ 250
Installation Guide for information on running the AcceleRAID™ 150 or
AcceleRAID™ 250 BIOS Configuration Utility.
Note: Next Boot Status for the first Symbios
SYM53C875 controller must be turned OFF if you install the
optional Mylex AcceleRAID™ 150 (SecuRAID 110) or Mylex
AcceleRAID™ 250 (SecuRAID 210) Controller board in your
system. Refer to “Symbios Configuration Utility” found earlier
in this chapter.
DACCF Configuration Utility
The DACCF utility is included with the RAID controller. The AcceleRAID™
150 and the AcceleRAID™ 250 support various versions of RAID technology
(referred to as RAID levels). To use any RAID level, you must configure the
RAID controller using the DACCF Configuration Utility prior to installing your
Network Operating System. For an explanation of this utility, refer to the Disk
Array Controller Configuration Utilities Manual that was shipped with the
controller. Chapter 2 (Preparing the Array) covers array hardware preparation,
configuration, and initialization. After completing the steps in Chapter 2, you
can install your Network Operating System.
