AAA-UDMA Installation and Hardware Guide This Installation and Hardware Guide explains how to install the AAA-UDMA, connect UDMA drives to it, run the ARRAYCONFIG™ UDMA Utility to create the first array for a bootable array configuration, and then install the software device driver for your operating system. Use the Adaptec CI/O Management Software™, which is included with the AAA-UDMA, to create additional arrays (CI/O™ is required for array management in order to provide the proper level of fault tolerance and event notification). Refer to the Adaptec CI/O Management Software User's Guide for instructions on installing and using the software. System Requirements The minimum system requirements for the AAA-UDMA are: s PCI-based 266-MHz Pentium II or equivalent motherboard that is PCI 2.1 compliant s An available full-length, unobstructed PCI slot that supports Bus Mastering s A minimum of one UDMA drive (UDMA 33 or 66) s A standard non-buffered 60 ns (or faster), 3.3V, ECC, 168-pin EDO DIMM installed on the adapter. (A 2 MB DIMM is typically pre-installed.) See the Adaptec Web Site at http://www.adaptec.com/tools/compatibility/u2dimm.html for a list of approved DIMMs and vendors s 5 MB of free hard disk space for the AAA-UDMA software (5 MB of free hard disk space on the Windows system disk are also required for the temporary files created during installation of the software) s Windows NT™ 4.0 Server, Windows 2000™, or Novell NetWare 4.11, 4.2, or 5.0 s A 3.5-inch 1.44-MB primary (boot) floppy disk drive s 64 MB or more of system memory. 1-2
