Installation Abort
B-2 AcceleRAID 170LP Installation Guide
During the initialization, if the firmware fails to respond to the BIOS inquiry
within two minutes, the following message displays:
AcceleRAID 160 not responding--no drives installed!
The BIOS then inquires the firmware for its version number and other
information, and displays the following message:
AcceleRAID 160 Firmware Version x.xx
One or more of the following messages will be displayed if the firmware
reports the following conditions:
Warning: X system drives offline
Warning: X system drives critical
WARNING: Dead SCSI devices (Channel : Target) : x:y
No system drives installed
X system drives installed
The BIOS repeats the same process for additional RAID controllers present
in the system. Then it proceeds to boot, if possible, from the first system
drive on the first controller.
Installation Abort
With Firmware 6.x, the installation aborted message is displayed when the
BIOS finds that the configuration of the disk drives is different from what it
senses at boot time. When this happens, and a new installation is not being
attempted, the cause is often a faulty cable or missing drive, or a loose
connection. Check all of the connectors, cables, drives, and try to boot. If the
error persists, it most likely indicates a genuine failure and needs to be
corrected. To correct it, boot and run the on-board BIOS Configuration
Utility, RAID EzAssist (see Chapter 3). For more information, refer to the
RAID EzAssist Configuration Utility User Reference Guide or Quick
Configuration Guide.
With Firmware 6.x, if the BIOS displays a mismatch in the Configuration on
Disk (COD) on all drives, then the following message will be displayed,
“install abort”– no drives will be installed. If you get this message, boot and
run RAID EzAssist, the on-board Mylex Disk Array Configuration Utility.
See Chapter 3 to recover from the error. For more information, refer to the
RAID EzAssist Configuration Utility User Reference Guide or Quick
Configuration Guide.
