Using a Pre-loaded SCSI Drive "As-is"
IMPORTANT: To use a pre-loaded system drive in the manner described here,
you must make it the first logical drive defined (for example: LD1) on the
controller it is connected to. This will make the drive ID 0 LUN 0. If the drive
is not a boot device, the logical drive number is not critical.
You may have a SCSI disk drive that is already loaded with software. The drive may be
a boot disk containing an operating system. You can use the MegaRAID controller as a
SCSI adapter for such a drive by performing the following steps:
1. Connect the SCSI drive to the channel on the MegaRAID controller, with proper
termination and TID settings.
2. Boot the computer and start Configuration Utility by pressing
3. Choose Easy Configuration from the Configure menu.
4. Press the cursor keys to select the pre-loaded drive.
5. Press the spacebar.
The pre-loaded drive should now become an array element.
6. Press
You have now declared the pre-loaded drive as a one-disk array. The logical drive
configuration screen displays.
7. Set the Read Policy and Cache Policy on the Advanced Menu.
8. Exit the Advanced menu.
9. Highlight Accept and press
