Adaptec RAID Installation Guide
To run SMOR and configure a new system
1
Press Ctrl+A when the Adaptec I
during system startup to start SMOR.
Note: The Adaptec RAID Installation CD boot utility can create
a bootable floppy disk that will run SMOR. This disk
automatically starts SMOR, enabling you to perform
configuration tasks when you can't start SMOR from the
SCSI RAID controller using Ctrl+A.
2
Inspect the hardware configuration.
a
Verify that all peripheral devices and controllers are shown.
If any devices are missing from the display, exit SMOR and
check your hardware connections.
b
View the Information window for each controller to verify
that all installed expansion and memory modules are
shown. Write down the IRQ and address displayed in the
Configuration tab—you may need this information later.
3
If the boot device will be an array, create that array now. You
can create or modify array groups later.
4
Exit SMOR.
The system begins building arrays that you created or
modified. For large arrays, this process may take several hours.
You can perform other activities on the system while the build
operation continues. However, access time will be slower until
the build is complete.
If you are adding the controller to an existing system that already
has an operating system with Storage Manager Pro or Storage
Manager installed, you can monitor the progress of the build
operation. For additional information, refer to the Adaptec Storage
Manager Pro User's Guide or the Adaptec Storage Management Software
User's Guide.
