RAID Configuration, System Cabling A-5 | NEC MH4500 instruction

RAID Configuration

Two of the options available for your system are the Mylex AcceleRAID 250 (SecuRAID 210) or the Mylex AcceleRAID 1100 (SecuRAID 530) Controller board. These boards give your system the added security of fault tolerance. If you order a system with the RAID controller, the system is pre-cabled at the factory.

If you are adding the Mylex AcceleRAID Controller board to an existing system, you must install and configure the controller. You do not have to change any cabling in your system. Your system board recognizes the installation of the RAID controller. Refer to Chapter 4, “Upgrading Your System” for procedures to install an option board. Refer to Chapter 3, “Configuring Your System” for more information on the Mylex AcceleRAID Controller board

Note: Next Boot Status for the Symbios SYM53C896 controller must be turned OFF if you install the optional Mylex AcceleRAID Controller board in your system. See “Symbios Configuration Utility” in Chapter 3 of this guide for information.

Note: Ensure a jumper is installed on JP10 of the Mylex

AcceleRAID Controller board. Refer to the Mylex

AcceleRAID Installation Guide for the location of jumper

JP10.
