Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components. 1-9 - Adaptec 2010S | Installation Guide - Page 17
Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide To prevent ESD damage: ■ Always use an ESD wrist or levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or card slot. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help - Adaptec 2010S | Installation Guide - Page 18
SCSI termination. ■ Set the SCSI IDs. Note: SCSI drives should, in general, not be reformatted. However, if your SCSI drive was formatted to a sector size other than 512 bytes, you must reformat the drive before you can use it in a RAID. Refer to the Adaptec Storage Management Software User's Guide - Adaptec 2010S | Installation Guide - Page 19
Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide Narrow and Wide SCSI Devices You can attach either narrow (8-bit) or wide (16-bit) SCSI devices to your Adaptec ZCR controller. If you use narrow and wide devices on the same wide cable, put one of the wide devices at the end of the cable. This - Adaptec 2010S | Installation Guide - Page 20
7. Use SMOR or the Configure Host Bus Adapter window in Adaptec Storage Management to change the controller SCSI ID. Note: Changing the controller ID is not recommended. You should leave the Adaptec ZCR controller set at SCSI ID 7. SCSI Termination The basics of termination are: ■ Enable termination - Adaptec 2010S | Installation Guide - Page 21

Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide After updating the Adaptec controller firmware or BIOS and restarting, the controller does not respond. The update may have been unsuccessful. Reset the NVRAM to the default settings and reconfigure the ZCR. To reset the NVRAM, refer to Appendix C. - Adaptec 2010S | Installation Guide - Page 48
this Appendix ➤ NVRAM Reset C-2 ➤ Flash Mode 0 C-2 This Appendix describes procedures that you can use to reset your controller in the event it becomes inoperable. ■ NVRAM Reset-The controller was improperly configured. ■ Flash Mode 0-An upgrade to the controller was attempted, but failed.

SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide NVRAM Reset Adaptec ZCR controllers retain their setup parameters even when powered off. These parameters are stored on the controller in an area of nonvolatile memory called NVRAM. There is a possibility that, through improper configuration, the controller - Adaptec 2010S | Installation Guide - Page 50
in Step 1. 4 Restart the system from the SMOR start floppy disk. If the system restarts normally, the controller can now be configured using SMOR or Storage Manager. 5 Use SMOR.exe to flash the controller BIOS and SMOR images. If the system fails to restart, call Adaptec Technical Support. C-3 - Adaptec 2010S | Installation Guide - Page 51
