Native Mode Operation: SATA Controller Mode Option: SATA RAID Auto Enhanced Enabled 3. To select a choice from the menu, use the arrow keys. 4. Use the arrow keys to select the channel for which you want to change settings. 5. To change the settings of the selected items, follow the instructions on the screen. Be sure to press Enter to save your changes. Using the Adaptec HostRAID configuration programs Important: RAID options and HostRAID are not supported on the SCO 6.0 and UnixWare 7.14 operating systems. Use the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs and SAS/SATA Configuration Utility (also referred to as IBM ServeRAID-7e) to add RAID level-0 and level-1 functionality to the integrated Serial ATA controller (simple-swap SATA models) and the SAS/SATA controller (hot-swap models). Be sure to use these programs as described in this document. Use these programs to perform the following tasks: v Configure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array v View or change the RAID configuration and associated devices When you are using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs and SAS/SATA Configuration Utility program to configure and manage arrays, consider the following information: v The SAS/SATA controller with integrated RAID (hot-swap models) and the integrated Serial ATA controller (simple-swap SATA models) with integrated SATA RAID support RAID level-0 and level-1 with the option of having a hot-spare drive. An optional ServeRAID controller provides additional RAID levels. v You cannot use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to configure the integrated Serial ATA controller with integrated RAID and the SAS/SATA controller with integrated RAID. v Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. Drives in an array can have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive. v To help ensure signal quality, do not mix drives with different speeds and data rates. v To update the firmware and BIOS code for an optional ServeRAID controller, you must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the ServeRAID option. v If you install a different type of RAID controller in the server, use the method that is described in the instructions that come with the controller to view or change settings for attached devices. Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs (for Serial ATA RAID) Use the Array Configuration Utility, in the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs, to add RAID level-0 and level-1 functionality to the integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller. This utility is a part of the BIOS code. For additional information about using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs, see the Chapter 4. Configuring the server 41

Using
the
Adaptec
HostRAID
configuration
programs
Important:
RAID
options
and
HostRAID
are
not
supported
on
the
SCO
6.0
and
UnixWare
7.14
operating
systems.
Use
the
Adaptec
RAID
Configuration
Utility
programs
and
SAS/SATA
Configuration
Utility
(also
referred
to
as
IBM
ServeRAID-7e)
to
add
RAID
level-0
and
level-1
functionality
to
the
integrated
Serial
ATA
controller
(simple-swap
SATA
models)
and
the
SAS/SATA
controller
(hot-swap
models).
Be
sure
to
use
these
programs
as
described
in
this
document.
Use
these
programs
to
perform
the
following
tasks:
v
Configure
a
redundant
array
of
independent
disks
(RAID)
array
v
View
or
change
the
RAID
configuration
and
associated
devices
When
you
are
using
the
Adaptec
RAID
Configuration
Utility
programs
and
SAS/SATA
Configuration
Utility
program
to
configure
and
manage
arrays,
consider
the
following
information:
v
The
SAS/SATA
controller
with
integrated
RAID
(hot-swap
models)
and
the
integrated
Serial
ATA
controller
(simple-swap
SATA
models)
with
integrated
SATA
RAID
support
RAID
level-0
and
level-1
with
the
option
of
having
a
hot-spare
drive.
An
optional
ServeRAID
controller
provides
additional
RAID
levels.
v
You
cannot
use
the
ServerGuide
Setup
and
Installation
CD
to
configure
the
integrated
Serial
ATA
controller
with
integrated
RAID
and
the
SAS/SATA
controller
with
integrated
RAID.
v
Hard
disk
drive
capacities
affect
how
you
create
arrays.
Drives
in
an
array
can
have
different
capacities,
but
the
RAID
controller
treats
them
as
if
they
all
have
the
capacity
of
the
smallest
hard
disk
drive.
v
To
help
ensure
signal
quality,
do
not
mix
drives
with
different
speeds
and
data
rates.
v
To
update
the
firmware
and
BIOS
code
for
an
optional
ServeRAID
controller,
you
must
use
the
IBM
ServeRAID
Support
CD
that
comes
with
the
ServeRAID
option.
v
If
you
install
a
different
type
of
RAID
controller
in
the
server,
use
the
method
that
is
described
in
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
controller
to
view
or
change
settings
for
attached
devices.
Using
the
Adaptec
RAID
Configuration
Utility
programs
(for
Serial
ATA
RAID)
Use
the
Array
Configuration
Utility,
in
the
Adaptec
RAID
Configuration
Utility
programs,
to
add
RAID
level-0
and
level-1
functionality
to
the
integrated
Serial
ATA
(SATA)
controller.
This
utility
is
