Step 10 Power Up

Replace the computer cover and reconnect the AC power cords. Turn power on to the
host computer. Set up the power supplies so that the SCSI devices are powered up at the
same time as or before the host computer. If the computer is powered up before a SCSI
device, the device might not be recognized.

During boot, the MegaRAID Express 500 BIOS message appears:

MegaRAID Express 500 Disk Array Adapter BIOS Version x.xx date
Copyright (c) LSI Logic Corporation

Firmware Initializing... [ Scanning SCSI Device

...(etc.)... ]

The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time the adapter will scan the
SCSI channel. When ready, the following appears:

Host Adapter-1 Firmware Version x.xx DRAM Size 4 MB
0 Logical Drives found on the Host Adapter
0 Logical Drives handled by BIOS
Press to run MegaRAID Express 500 BIOS Configuration Utility

The utility prompt times out after several seconds. The MegaRAID Express
500 host adapter (controller) number, firmware version, and cache DRAM size are
displayed in the second portion of the BIOS message. The numbering of the controllers
follows the PCI slot scanning order used by the host motherboard.

Step 11 Run MegaRAID BIOS Setup

Press to run the MegaRAID BIOS Setup utility. See the MegaRAID
Configuration Software Guide
for information about running MegaRAID BIOS Setup.
