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 LP controller and a LP computer cabinet, replace the original

full-height bracket on the controller card with the LP 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.

fOptional—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 hard disk drives (HDDs) or Solid State

Drives (SSD) using the appropriate cable(s), then close the computer cabinet.

Note: To build a RAID 1, you must install two HDDs. To build a RAID 5, you

must install at least three HDDs.

hConnect any external cables and HDDs or SSDs 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.

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.

English

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

displays.

cSelect Initialize Drives, then press Enter.

dSelect at least three HDDs for a RAID 5 array or two disks for a RAID 1. Press

Insert for each selected HDD, then press Enter.

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

Menu displays.

Warning: Initializing HDDs deletes all data stored on these drives. Back

up any data you want to keep before initializing the HDDs.

fSelect Create Array, then press Enter.

gSelect the HDDs you just initialized, press Insert for each selected HDD, then

press Enter.

hOn the Array Properties screen, respond as follows:

iWhen a cache warning message is displayed, type Y.

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.

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 Yes, 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 DVD drive first—

this allows you to perform Step 4 on page 4.

cGo to the menu used to specify the boot priority for HDDs. Put the Adaptec

RAID controller first in this sequence.

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

Step 4 Create the Driver Disk—Linux Only

aInsert the Adaptec Installation DVD and turn on the computer to boot from

the DVD.

bClick Create Driver Disk, then select your Red Hat Linux OS version.

cSelect your floppy disk drive letter, then select the format you want. You need

a full format only if your floppy disk is unformatted.

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

eRemove and label the driver disk.

fContinue with the installation of the OS and controller driver, as described in

Step 5 below. If your OS is not listed in Step 5, refer to the Adaptec RAID

Controllers Installation and User’s Guide on the Adaptec Installation DVD.

Step 5 Install the Controller Driver with the OS

Windows 2008, Windows 7

For Windows 2003 or Windows Vista, refer to the Adaptec RAID Controllers

Installation and User’s Guide on the Adaptec Installation DVD.

aInsert your Windows CD, then restart the computer.

English

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

cWhen prompted to specify a location for Windows, select Load Driver.

dInsert the Adaptec Installation DVD, browse to the driver location, then click

OK.

eWhen the driver is found, press Next.

Note: With Adaptec Series 6 controllers, you may see the message ‘No drives

were found’. Repeat Step c, Step d (without reinserting the DVD), and Step e.

On the second attempt, the driver will load successfully.

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 Enterprise Linux 5

For Red Hat 6 or other Linux versions, refer to the Adaptec RAID Controllers

Installation and User’s Guide on the Adaptec Installation DVD.

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. Any customization files you created using the

previous version are saved and used in the upgrade.

Windows Installation

aInsert the Adaptec Installation DV
