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.

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.
