CADA-SA8 Series

PART I:Installing the device drivers for the RAID 5 controller card

(3124 PCI-X or 3132 PCI-Express) for the CADA-SA8

1) Please identify what type of card RAID5 controller card you have. If it has 2

eSATA ports, your card is a PCI-Express card with a SiI3132 chipset. If it has 4

eSATA ports it is a PCI-X card with a SiI3124 chipset.

2) Load the Resources CD.

If you have a PC and a PCI-Express card, open the folder “Contents / CADA-SA8 /

FILES / DRIVERS / PCI-Express” and open the folder that corresponds to your

operating system.

If you have a PC and a PCI-X Card, open the folder “Contents / CADA-SA8 / FILES /

DRIVERS / PCI-X” and open the folder that corresponds to your operating system.

If you have a Mac and a PCI-Express Card, open the folder “Contents / CADA-SA8 /

MAC / PCI-Express”, double-click the compressed file (.zip or .tar) and a pkg file will

appear. Install the pkg file by following the on-screen instructions. THEN SKIP TO

PART II.

If you have a Mac and a PCI-X Card, open the folder “Contents / CADA-SA8 / MAC /

PCI-X”, double-click the compressed file (.zip or .tar) and a pkg file will appear.

Install the pkg file by following the on-screen instructions. THEN SKIP TO PART II.

NOTE: If these files do not work, go to the Silicon Image website to download other

versions: For PCI-Express, go to

http://www.siliconimage.com/products/product.aspx?id=32. For PCI-X go to

http://www.siliconimage.com/products/product.aspx?id=27. There are links on the

right for “Driver” which will take you to the driver files. Unzip the files and proceed to

step 3.

3) Copy the contents of the folder you opened in step 2 to a folder on your computer

(Not on the CD). Move it to an accessible location. The folder should contain the

driver files. Remember where you stored this folder for a later step.

4) Now install the card into your computer. You will have to turn off your computer

first. If it’s 4-port PCI-X 3124 card you need to install it on an available PCI slot on

your motherboard. If it’s a 2-port PCI-Express 3132 card you need to install it on an

available PCI-Express slot on your motherboard. Turn on your computer again and

get back to the desktop.

5) A device installation wizard may pop up. Ignore it for now. Click “cancel” if you

need to bypass it. Now go to Windows XP Device Manager. You may get there by

going to Start Menu -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device

Manager button. An item should be listed under “SCSI and RAID controllers” or

“Other Devices,” with or without a yellow question mark and may be described as

“unknown RAID card”, “RAID Controller”, or “silicon image raid controller”. In any

case, right click on it, then left click on “Properties” -> Driver tab -> then the

“Update Driver” button. This should start the device driver installation wizard.

6) If Windows asks to connect to Windows Update, select “No” and click “Next.” Then

choose “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)” and click “Next”.

7) Select “Don’t search. I will choose the driver to install. Then click “Next” to

continue.

8) The Hardware Update wizard should start. If asked for type of hardware, select

“SCSI and RAID Controllers.” It will try to show compatible products. You may

choose “Unknown Manufacturer” then click the “Have Disk” button. If it is not listed,

proceed and click the “Have Disk” button.

9) A pop-up window will show asking for the location of the drivers. Ignore it and

wait a few seconds. Then click on the “Browse” button. It will show a Windows

Explorer type tree. Now navigate to where you stored the folder with the drivers. It

should now list compatible .inf files. For Windows, choose the .inf file with the letters

“siXXXX..” in front where XXXX is your card chipset number. In this example picture,

the “si3132r5.inf” was clicked on and highlighted. The file chosen should also appear

in the “File Name” text box. Now click the “Open” button to continue.

10) Another pop-up will appear. It should have the correct directory path to the

folder with drivers. Click “Ok” to continue.

11) The next window will show that the driver information is recognized from the

drivers you selected. It should show “Silicon Image Sil 3132 SoftRaid 5 Controller” or

“Silicon Image Sil 3124 SoftRaid 5 Controller” to represent the card. Windows will

now install the drivers. Click on the “Next” button to continue. If you see a pop-pop

stating the driver is “unsigned”, just click the “next” button to continue.

The correct installation process should look like this:

12) After the driver is installed, Windows MAY ask you to restart. If so, please restart

the computer, open this Installation Guide again, and continue to Part II (see next

page). If not asked to restart, continue to Part II.

PART II: Installing the RAID Software (SATARAID5 Configuration

Manager) for CADA-SA8 (Note: Please install the drivers for the RAID5 controller

card before installing the SATARAID5 Configuration Manager.)

1) Mac Users, skip to step 4.

Load the resources CD.

If you have a PC and a PCI-Express (2 eSATA ports) card, go to the folder “Contents

/ CADA-SA8 / FILES / RAID SOFTWARE / PCI-Express” and double click on the

Windows Installer Package (.msi) file

If you have a PC and a PCI-X (4 eSATA ports) card, go to the folder “Contents /

CADA-SA8 / FILES / RAID SOFTWARE / PCI-X” and double click on the Windows

Installer Package (.msi) file.

Your card should already be installed with the appropriate drivers. If not, see PART I

of this text. Do not connect the CADA-SA8 yet. If you cannot install the files, go to

the Silicon Image website to download other versions: For PCI-Express, go to

http://www.siliconimage.com/products/product.aspx?id=32. For PCI-X go to

http://www.siliconimage.com/products/product.aspx?id=27. There are links on the

right for “SATARAID Tools” which will take you to the installer package files.

2) After double-clicking the appropriate install file, you should get to the following

window. It’s recommended to leave the installation location at the default. Follow the

on-screen installation instructions.

3) Before it finishes installation, Java (J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 in this .msi)

may self-install if your system doesn’t have it already. It is needed in order for the

SATARAID configuration manager to run. Go ahead and run through the wizard (it is

recommended to select “typical” install) and accept the agreement. Then you can go

ahead and close the main configuration manager install.

4) The SATARaid5 Configuration Manager icon should now be on your desktop. It

should start up every time you restart Windows / Mac. You can double-click on the

icon to start the manager. If you have not connected and turned on your CADA-SA8,

it should like this (blank white boxes). Notice your RAID5 controller card is

recognized already and there are no drives connected so none are shown at the

moment.

NOTE: there will be four channels (columns) of boxes if you have a PCI-X Controller

card.

5) Now you can connect your CADA-SA8 to the card via the TWO eSATA cables (one

per channel) to both eSATA ports on the PCI Card you installed. On the back of the

CADA-SA8, there are two channels for eSATA—you need to use one cable per

channel. Turn on the CADA-SA8, wait about one minute for the RAID5 controller card

to recognize the drive. You may see a window pop-up that says “New event

detected”. If so, click OK to continue. Your RAID5 configuration manager screen

should look similar to this.

If your drive doesn’t look like this (perhaps with yellow, red or grey boxes in place of

the green boxes) email customer support: [email protected].

NOTE: for PCI-X users, there would be two columns of blank boxes as well.

If it looks like this, it is set up correctly in a RAID 5 configuration. GO ON TO STEP 6.

6) WINDOWS USERS: Go to Windows XP disk management to initialize, partition

and format your new available drive space. (instructions follow below)

MAC USERS: go to Disk Utility to initialize, partition and format your drive.

Windows XP instructions for initializing, partitioning,

and formatting your drive:

1) Right click on “My Computer” on your desktop and select manage. This will start

Microsoft Management Console’s Computer Management.
