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
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.
