3ware Escalade ATA RAID Controller User Guide 3ware website at http://www.3ware.com/products/compatibility.asp to see if you motherboard has been tested by 3ware. Q4: Some of the drives do not appear in the Disk Array Configuration Utility's main display. Your drives are not connected properly to the ATA RAID controller. Check that both the power and ATA cables are connected properly and that the drives are all properly jumpered. To operate properly the ATA RAID controller requires that drives be set as Single (if available on your drive) or Master. Q5: I am using a Dell Dimension system that locks-up when booting after a 3ware card is installed. What is going on? This symptom is caused by a Dell BIOS bug. Basically, this bug sees the system boot drive as two primary master drives. That causes the system to hang. Enter the Dell BIOS setup and reload the BIOS defaults. Software installation Q7: The ATA RAID controller was configured without problems, but the system does not boot. The problem could be one or more of the following: • The operating system is installed on a device that is not in your system's boot order. Use your system's Setup utility to include the StorSwitch controller in the boot order. • If your operating system was installed before you configured your disk arrays, you may have overwritten your operating system. Remember that creating or deleting a disk array overwrites any existing data on the member drives. Reinstall your operating system. • If you installed your operating system when you installed the ATA RAID controller, you may have made a mistake in installing the operating system. Reinstall your operating system. 172 www.3ware.com
