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 HostRAID) Use the Array Configuration Utility, in the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs, to add RAID level-0 and level-1 functionality to the integrated SATA controller. This utility is a part of the BIOS code. Note: To add RAID functionality to a hot-swap SATA model, see "Using the SAS/SATA Utility program (for SAS/SATA HostRAID)" on page 62. For additional information about using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs, see the documentation on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD. If this CD did not come with the server, you can download it from http://www.ibm.com/support/. The integrated Serial ATA RAID feature (SATA HostRAID) comes disabled by default. You must enable it and install the device drivers before you can use it. The SATA RAID feature configuration utilities, device drivers, and information are available on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD. Enabling the Serial ATA HostRAID feature Important: A configuration conflict (error code 1801) might occur if SATA RAID and SAS/SATA RAID are both enabled. If you are enabling the Serial ATA HostRAID feature, make sure that the RAID Support option in the SAS/SATA Configuration Utility program is disabled (for more information, see "Enabling the SAS/SATA HostRAID feature" on page 62). To enable the SATA RAID feature, complete the following steps: 1. Turn on the server. 2. When the prompt Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1. If you have set an administrator password, you are prompted to type the password. 3. Select Devices and I/O Ports --> Advanced Chipset Control --> Serial ATA. 4. Select SATA Controller Mode Option. Change the value to Enhanced. 5. Scroll down and select SATA RAID Enable. 6. Select Enabled. 7. Press Esc; then, select Yes to save the changes. Using the Serial ATA HostRAID feature The instructions in this section are for using the Array Configuration Utility program to access and perform an initial RAID level-1 configuration. If you install a different type of RAID adapter, use the method that is described in the instructions that come with the adapter to view or change settings for the attached devices. For additional information about using the Array Configuration Utility program to create, configure, and manage arrays, see the documentation on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD. Configuring the controller: To use the Array Configuration Utility program to configure a RAID level-1 array, complete the following steps: 1. Turn on the server. Chapter 3.
