Failure to install and enumerate the RAID driver after enabling the RAID controller (with or without creating a volume) will result in a Windows boot failure (blue screen) for inaccessible boot device. WARNING: The PCI Device ID of the mass storage controller changes after changing the BIOS "SATA Emulation" Computer Setup option. Changing SATA Emulation from IDE mode to RAID mode is the equivalent of connecting the hard drives to a new add-on RAID storage controller. The installed operating system on the hard drive is unaware of this new mass storage controller. If the operating system does not have the RAID drivers installed, the operating system will fail to boot. For example Microsoft XP Professional (SP2) or Microsoft Vista will cause a blue screen and/or reboot when attempting to boot in RAID mode without the RAID drivers installed. Additional technical information will be provided in the future for customers who want to add RAID SW image deployment capabilities. AMD Array Management Software (RAIDXpert) This section of the paper focuses on how to configure RAID using AMD Array Management Software (RAIDXpert). Java Runtime Environment RAIDXpert will install JRE 1.4 on your system unless you already have JRE versions 1.3.0 or 1.4. Console Software Installation HP provides a softpaq for the AMD RAIDXpert utility installation. To download the softpaq, go to www.hp.com/support. Log-in to RAIDXpert 1.
