LSI Integrated RAID controller and Host Bus Adapter This document describes how to enable LSI Integrated RAID on your HP xw4200 Workstation, HP xw6200 Workstation, HP xw8200 Workstation, or HP xw9300 Workstation. Note: Before taking advantage of RAID functionality, you must have two or more SCSI HDDs connected to the LSI Integrated RAID device. Refer to the Technical Reference Guide for your workstation by visiting http://www.hp.com/support/workstation_manuals. Warning: Please back up all user data before enabling LSI Integrated RAID. These processes may destroy all data on the drives used in the RAID set. Steps common to all methods for enabling LSI Integrated RAID 1. Turn on or restart the workstation. 2. Press the F10 key when F10=Setup appears on the screen. 3. Select your language from the list and press Enter. 4. Use the arrow keys (left, right, up, or down) to make the selections. 5. For the HP xw8200 Workstation embedded LSI Integrated RAID Controller: I. Select Security > Device Security > OnBoard SCSI Controller = Device available, then press the F10 key to accept changes. II. Select Advanced > Device Options > SCSI Option ROM = Enable, then press the F10 key to accept changes. III. To apply and save changes, use the arrow key (left or right) to select File and use the arrow key (up or down) to select Save Changes and Exit, then press Enter. 6. For the HP xw9300 Workstation embedded LSI Integrated Controller (non-RAID): I. Select Advanced > Device Options > SCSI Option ROM = Disable, then press the F10 key to accept changes. II. To apply and save changes, use the arrow key (left or right) to select File and use the arrow key (up or down) to select Save Changes and Exit, then press Enter. III. After you configure RAID with the following instructions, re-enable the onboard SCSI Option ROM. 7. For the HP xw4200 Workstation, HP xw6200 Workstation, HP xw8200 Workstation, and HP xw9300 Workstation with an LSI Integrated RAID HBA (Host Bus Adapter): I. Use the arrow key (left or right) to select Advanced and use the arrow key (up or down) to select the appropriate I/O slot where the HBA is installed, then press Enter. II. Ensure Option ROM = Enable. III. To apply and save changes, use the arrow key (left or right) to select File and use the arrow key (up or down) to select Save Changes and Exit, then press Enter. 8. If appropriate, download and update RAID Firmware and OPROM for the type of RAID array you want to create.
