Installing and configuring ServeRAID controllers This section contains information about the features and connector locations of the ServeRAID-4H controller, the ServeRAID-4L controller, and the ServeRAID-4M controller (hereafter sometimes referred to as IBM ServeRAID-4x Ultra-160 SCSI controllers), and describes the following steps needed to install and configure the controller: Step 1. Update the BIOS and firmware on any existing controllers using the 4.10 software Step 2. Install and cable the ServeRAID controller Step 3. Update BIOS and firmware code Step 4. Configure the ServeRAID controller Information for obtaining ServeRAID updates is included at the end of the chapter. Features and connector locations of ServeRAID-4H controller This section contains important information on the controller features and connector locations.
