Supported Operating Systems for the Raid Array 3000
You have purchased support for the Windows NT operating system version 4.0 with Service Pack
3, 4, 5 and Windows NT operating system version 3.51 with Service Pack 5 on an Alpha PCI
platform. The supported host adapter is the SWXA3-BD differential PCI host adapter for Alpha
systems.
Supported Configurations
Your RAID Array 3000 contains a single dual-ported controller. This allows support for eight
SCSI logical units (LUNs) per port, or a total of 16 LUNs per controller. A second controller (DS-
HSZ22-AA) can be added for redundancy and performance. The minimum version of controller
firmware for both controllers is D11U. The controller firmware contained on the CD-ROM is
D11V (in the \firmware directory) that is part of this kit. If the controller is running an earlier
revision of Firmware (D10I, D11O, or D11U), you will need to upgrade the Firmware prior to
making the RA3000 operational.
You may create a Windows NT boot partition on the RAID Array 3000 storage subsystem. The
Windows NT boot partition can be at most 4 GB in size. Ensure that the host adapter is configured
to default parameters (BIOS enable, wide negotiation, >1 GB translation).
Table 1 lists the minimum system requirements needed for the RA3000 operating software,
Version 1.2.
