Installing Your Controller

are found automatically detect the presence of the first controller

and disable their BIOS. The disk controller that has the lowest BIOS

ROM address (typically, the lowest PCI slot number) will become

the booting controller.

Ensure that the Adaptec BIOS ROM occupies the lowest address if

you want the Adaptec controller to be the booting controller in a

system with controllers from multiple manufacturers.

Some system BIOS manufacturers select the smallest add-in BIOS as

the first candidate, therefore slot selection has no effect on which

adapter BIOS loads first. In this case, you need to disable the BIOS

on selected adapters to control which adapter is the boot controller.

This procedure can also be helpful in situations where it is

physically difficult to manage the slot order.

Controller IRQ and Address

During the host system start process, the system BIOS should

automatically configure the controller BIOS interrupt level (IRQ)

and memory location for all Adaptec PCI controllers in the system.

If problems occur, refer to Appendix C for additional help.

Using SMOR

You need to run SMOR in systems where you need to configure the

controller and set up disk arrays before the operating system has

been installed. Run SMOR as directed in the installation procedures

in this Installation Guide to:

■ Check the cache memory module after installing the controller

(refer to Step 2 on page 2-9).

■ Configure the controller as a boot controller after installing the

controller (refer to Zero Channel RAID Controllers (2000S, 2005S)

on page 2-10).

■ Create disk arrays during driver installation (see Chapter 3).

After your system is set up, you can use all of the advanced features

of Storage Manager Pro or Storage Manager to modify and improve

the RAID. Complete SMOR documentation is provided in the

Adaptec Storage Management Software User’s Guide.
