Installation Abort
C-2 eXtremeRAID 2000 Installation Guide
During the initialization, if the firmware fails to respond to the BIOS inquiry
within two minutes, the following message displays:
EXR2000 not responding--no drives installed!
The BIOS then inquires the firmware for its version number and other
information, and prints out the following message:
EXR2000 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 and higher, the installation aborted message is displayed
when the BIOS finds that the configuration of the disk drives (COD) is
different from what it senses at boot time. When this happens, (and a brand
new installation is not being attempted) the cause is often a faulty cable or
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 RAID EzAssist Configuration Utility Quick Configuration Guide.
