Storage Manager on ROM Overview Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR) is a BIOS-based setup utility that enables you to configure your Adaptec RAID controller without loading an operating system and using Storage Manager. You can also use SMOR to perform basic array configuration. SMOR makes the initial setup of your RAID controller and RAID storage easier and faster. To configure your hardware and create disk arrays when Storage Manager is not available, run SMOR during system startup. This is especially useful for a new system where you need to create disk arrays before you install the operating system. After your storage subsystem is configured, install your operating system according to the appropriate procedure in the Adaptec RAID Installation Guide for your controller. For access to all of the advanced features of your controller, install the version of Storage Manager specific to your operating system. To run SMOR and configure a new system, follow these steps: 1 Press Ctrl+A when the Adaptec RAID controller BIOS message appears during boot to start SMOR. 2 Inspect the hardware configuration as shown by SMOR. a Verify that all peripheral devices and controllers are shown. If any devices are missing from the display, exit SMOR and check your hardware connections. b View the Information window for each controller to verify that all installed expansion and memory modules are shown (see the Attached Modules section of the figure on page 2-6. Note: 3400S only: SMOR reports a 3400S as a 3200S having an attached module for the extra two channels. This is because the 3400S is a 3200S with an additional factory-installed two channel daughter card giving it its four channel capacity Note the IRQ and address displayed in the Configuration window (see page 2-10). The IRQ and address values may be required during installation of your operating system. 2-2

Storage Manager on ROM
Overview
Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR) is a BIOS-based setup utility that
enables you to configure your Adaptec
RAID controller without
loading an operating system and using Storage Manager. You can
also use SMOR to perform basic array configuration. SMOR makes
the initial setup of your
RAID controller and RAID storage easier
and faster.
To configure your hardware and create disk arrays when Storage
Manager is not available, run SMOR during system startup. This is
especially useful for a new system where you need to create disk
arrays
before
you install the operating system.
After your storage subsystem is configured, install your operating
system according to the appropriate procedure in the
Adaptec RAID
Installation Guide
for your controller. For access to all of the
advanced features of your controller, install the version of Storage
Manager specific to your operating system.
To run SMOR and configure a new system, follow these steps:
1
Press
Ctrl+A
when the Adaptec RAID controller BIOS message
appears during boot to start SMOR.
2
Inspect the hardware configuration as shown by SMOR.
a
Verify that all peripheral devices and controllers are shown.
If any devices are missing from the display, exit SMOR and
check your hardware connections.
b
View the Information window for each controller to verify
that all installed expansion and memory modules are shown
(see the Attached Modules section of the figure on
page 2-6
.
Note:
3400S only: SMOR reports a 3400S as a 3200S having an
attached module for the extra two channels. This is because
the 3400S is a 3200S with an additional factory-installed two
channel daughter card giving it its four channel capacity
Note the IRQ and address displayed in the Configuration
window (see
page 2-10
). The IRQ and address values may
be required during installation of your operating system.
