Introduction

This Quick Start Guide describes how to install your Adaptec RAID

controller, create a bootable RAID 1 or RAID 5 array, and then install

your Microsoft® Windows® 2003/2008/XP/Vista™ or Red Hat Linux®

operating system and controller driver on that array. For other

installation options, refer to the Adaptec RAID Controllers Installation and

User’s Guide included on the RAID Installation CD. For controller

illustrations, refer to the last section of this document.

Note: For the latest information about the products described in this

Guide, the support for operating systems listed, and to download drivers,

Quick Start Guide (this document)

Step 1 Install the Controller

Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your controller.

Follow standard anti-ESD precautions to avoid exposing the

controller to static charge.

aIf you have a low-profile controller and a low-profile computer

cabinet, replace the original full-height bracket on the controller card

with the low-profile bracket supplied in the controller kit.

bTurn off the computer and disconnect the power cord.

cOpen the cabinet. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions as needed.

dInsert the controller into an available PCIe slot that’s compatible with

your controller and secure the controller bracket to the chassis.

eOptional—Connect your computer’s disk activity LED cable to the

LED connector on your controller (not available on some models).

Attach the positive lead to pin 1.

Optional

—Connect the controller’s I2C connector (not available on

some models) to an I2C connector on an internal SAS backplane or

enclosure. Use an I2C cable (typically included with the backplane).

gInstall and connect any internal drives using the appropriate cable(s),

then close the computer cabinet.

Note: To build a RAID 1, you must install two disk drives. To build a

RAID 5, you must install at least three disk drives.

hConnect any external cables and disk drives to the controller.

●Do not attach a cable to the controller unless the other end of the

cable is attached to at least one drive. Doing so can cause unstable

operation.

●

Use high-quality cables—poor quality cables degrade reliability.

English

Step 2 Create a RAID Array

RAID 1 and RAID 5 arrays are used here as an example. Create a RAID 1

if your controller does not support RAID 5. You can create a different

level array in a similar manner.

aTurn on the computer, then when prompted press Ctrl+A to enter the

BIOS-based configuration utility. The Menu Options screen displays.

Note: If you have more than one of the same type of controller

installed, select your controller, then press Enter.

bSelect Array Configuration Utility, then press Enter. The ACU Menu

displays.

cSelect Initialize Drives, then press Enter.

dSelect at least three disk drives for a RAID 5 array or two disks for a

RAID 1. Press Insert for each selected disk drive, then press Enter.

ePress Y, then press Enter. The selected drives are initialized, then the

ACU Menu displays.

Warning: Initializing disk drives deletes all data stored on these

drives. Back up any data you want to keep before initializing the

disk drives.

fSelect Create Array, then press Enter.

gSelect the disk drives you just initialized, press Insert for each selected

disk drive, then press Enter.

hOn the Array Properties screen, respond as follows:

iWhen a cache warning message is displayed, type Y.

jOnce the array is created, a message tells you that the array can now be

used. Press any key to return to the ACU Menu.

Note: Although you can start using the array now, performance is

reduced until the build process is complete.

kPress Esc until the Exit Utility window appears.

lSelect Ye s , then press Enter. The computer restarts.

Step 3 Set up the Boot Sequence

The process you use to access your computer’s BIOS Setup program and

set the boot sequence varies by computer manufacturer. Refer to the

instructions provided with your specific computer. Steps may be similar to:

aDuring startup, press the key combination (for example, <F2>, <F1>,

<DEL>) that starts the BIOS Setup program.

bGo to the menu used to specify the boot sequence. Put the CD drive

first—this allows you to perform Step 4 on page 5.

cGo to the menu used to specify the boot priority for disk drives. Put

the Adaptec RAID controller first in this sequence.

dSave your changes, exit Setup, and restart the computer.

Array Type Select RAID 5 or RAID 1, then press Enter.

Array Label Type a name, then press Enter.

Array Size Press Enter, then press Enter again to use the

default granularity of GB.

Stripe Size Press Enter to use the default (256KB).

Read Caching Press Enter to use the default (Yes).

Write Caching Press Enter to use the default (Enable always).

Create RAID via Press Enter to use the default (Build/Verify).

[Done] Press Enter.

English

Step 4 Create the Driver Disk

aInsert the Adaptec RAID Installation CD and turn on the computer to

boot from the CD.

bFollow the on-screen instructions to display the CD’s menu.

cClick Create Driver Disk, then select your operating system. If you

selected Linux, you may also need to select an architecture (depending

on the type of Linux you selected).

dSelect your floppy disk drive letter, then select the format you want.

You need a full format only if your floppy disk is unformatted.

eInsert the floppy disk, then click OK. The computer creates the driver

disk.

fRemove and label the driver disk.

gContinue with the installation of the operating system and controller

driver, as described in Step 5 below. If your operating system is not

listed in Step 5, refer to the Adaptec RAID Controller Users Guide on

the RAID Installation CD.

Step 5 Install the Controller Driver with

the Operating System

Windows 2003/XP

aInsert your Windows CD, then restart the computer.

bFollow the on-screen instructions to begin the Windows installation.

cWhen prompted to install a third-party driver, press F6.

Note: When F6 is active, a prompt appears at the bottom of the screen

for only 5 seconds. If you miss your chance to press F6, restart your

computer.

dInsert the driver disk, then wait until prompted to install the driver.

Press Sto specify that the driver is on the floppy disk, then press

Enter. The computer reads the disk.

eWhen the driver is found, press Enter. Follow the on-screen

instructions to complete the installation.

Windows 2008/Vista

aInsert your Windows CD, then restart the computer.

bFollow the on-screen instructions to begin the Windows installation.

cWhen prompted to specify a location for Windows, select Load

Driver.

dInsert the driver disk, then click OK.

eWhen the driver is found, press Next.

fClick Next again to accept the default partition configuration, or refer

to your Windows documentation to configure partitions manually.

gFollow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Red Hat Linux

For SuSE Linux, refer to the Adaptec RAID Controllers Installation and

User’s Guide on the RAID Installation CD.

www.adaptec.com.

aInsert the first Red Hat installation CD.

bRestart the computer.

cWhen the Red Hat Welcome screen appears, type

linux dd

at the

Boot: prompt.

dWhen prompted, insert the driver disk, then select OK.

eFollow the prompts to set up the environment you want.

fIf you are installing other third-party devices, install them now.

Otherwise, select Done.

gContinue with the Linux installation, according to the Red Hat

instructions.

Step 6 Install Adaptec Storage Manager

Before installing Adaptec Storage Manager, ensure that you are logged in

with administrator or root privileges. Also, remove any previous version

of Adaptec Storage Manager. Any customization files you created using

the previous version are saved and used in the upgrade.

●To remove Adaptec Storage Manager from Linux, type the command

rpm --erase StorMan
