Connecting the RAID board

After you install the RAID board, you need to install a second hard disk and then wire the RAID board to the hard disks and to the BCM1000.

1Install the second hard drive as described in “Installing a new hard disk” on page 177.

2Connect the ribbon cables, as described in “Connecting RAID board ribbon cables” on page 192.

3Connect the power cables to the hard disks, the RAID board, and the media bay module housing as described in “Routing power for mirrored systems” on page 193.

4Restore the system to operation. Refer to “Restoring the system to operation” on page 170.

The RAID board automatically starts the mirroring process within 45 seconds after the system comes back online. This occurs after the service up window closes, about six minutes into the power-up sequence.

Your computer will display a status bar as the initialization continues.

Note: Initialization times: 20G HDD: approximately three hours

8.4G HDD: approximately 80 minutes

The event log will state when the initialization is complete: HDD Rebuild Complete, System Status Monitor Result.
