Using a Pre-loaded SCSI Drive “As-is”
NOTE: 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 hard drive that is already loaded with software. The
drive may be a boot disk containing an operating system. If so, add the
PERC device driver to this system drive before you switch to the PERC 3
and attempt to boot from it. You can use the PERC 3 controller as a SCSI
adapter for such a drive by performing the following steps.
1 Connect the SCSI drive to the channel on the PERC 3 controller, with
proper termination and TID settings.
2 Boot the computer.
