Installing an optional RAID adapter provides additional RAID levels. See "Using ServeRAID Manager" for information about configuring the server for RAID operation. If you install a RAID adapter in the server, use the configuration method supplied with the RAID adapter to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices. Complete the following steps to start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program: 1. Turn on the server. 2. When the > prompt appears, press Ctrl+C. Note: If an administrator password has been set, you are prompted to type the password to start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program. 3.
