Hardware Installation
Step 10 Run MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility
Press to run the MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility. See the
MegaRAID Configuration Software Guide for information about running MegaRAID
BIOS Configuration Utility.
Step 11 Install the Operating System Driver
MegaRAID can operate under MS-DOS® or any DOS-compatible operating system
using the standard AT BIOS INT 13h Hard Disk Drive interface. To operate with other
operating systems, you must install software drivers. MegaRAID provides software
drivers on the Driver and Documentation CD for the following operating systems:
•
MS-DOS version 6.xx or later
•
Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, .NET
•
Red Hat Linux 7.2, 7.3
NOTE: Refer to the MegaRAID Driver Installation Guide for the procedures
used to install operating system drivers.
IMPORTANT: When booting the system from a drive connected to a
MegaRAID controller and using EMM386.EXE, MEGASPI.SYS must be
loaded in CONFIG.SYS before EMM386.EXE is loaded. If you do not do this,
you cannot access the boot drive after EMM386 is loaded.
DOS ASPI Driver
The ASPI® driver can be used under DOS, and Windows. The DOS ASPI driver
supports:
•
Up to six non-disk SCSI devices (each SCSI device must use a unique SCSI ID
regardless of the SCSI channel it resides on. SCSI IDs 1 through 6 are valid
•
Up to six MegaRAID adapters (you should only configure one MegaRAID adapter
per system if possible)
ASPI Driver
The ASPI driver is MEGASPI.SYS. It supports disk drives, tape drives, CD drives, etc.
You can use it to run CorelSCSI, Novaback, PC Tools, and other software that requires
an ASPI driver. CorelSCSI, Novaback, and PC Tools are not provided with the
MegaRAID controller. Copy MEGASPI.SYS to your hard disk drive. Add the
following line to CONFIG.SYS. MEGASPI.SYS must be loaded in CONFIG.SYS
before EMM386.EXE is loaded:
device=\MEGASPI.SYS /v
