You must enable it and install the device drivers before you can use it. The SCSI RAID configuration utilities, device drivers, and information are available on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD. If this CD did not come with your server, you can download it from http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. Enabling the SCSI HostRAID feature Complete the following steps to enable the SCSI RAID feature: 1. Turn on the server. 2. When the prompt Press for SCSISelect Utility appears, press Ctrl+A. If you have set an administrator password, you are prompted to type the password. 3. Use the arrow keys to select the channel for which you want to change settings and press Enter. 4. Select Configure/View SCSI Controller Setting; then, select HostRAID. 5. Select Enabled. 6. Press Esc; then, select Yes to save the changes. Using the SCSI HostRAID feature The instructions in this section describe how to access the SCSI RAID feature from the SCSISelect Utility program and perform an initial RAID level-1 configuration. If you install a different type of RAID adapter in the server, use the configuration method described in the instructions that come with that adapter to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices. See the documentation on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD for additional information about how to use the SCSI HostRAID feature. Configuring the controller: Complete the following steps to use the SCSI HostRAID feature to configure a RAID level-1 array: 1.
