If the LED has a two-position cable, connect the cable to pins 1 and 2 of the LED connector, as shown in Figure 2-4.
ARO-1130SA Installation and Hardware Guide Completing the Installation Once the ARO-1130SA is installed in your server, refer to the docu- mentation that came with your computer and SCSI devices for spe- cific instructions on setting up your SCSI devices and connecting them to the SCSI connectors on the motherboard.
Using the Array1000xA BIOS & Driver Selection Utility Whenever you install a new ARO-1130SA in your server and before you run the Adaptec ArrayConfigSA program to create the first array in your system, always run the Array1000xA BIOS & Driver Selection Utility.
Note: If you receive an “Unsupported Hardware Con- figuration,” message during setup, contact the system manufacturer. The ARO-1130SA is not supported by the system. Express setup automatically updates the ARO-1130SA BIOS. Select Express setup and the utility will do the rest.

You must have the proper level of Adaptec CI/O Management Software password authorization if you want to add and delete arrays and spares from a networked cli- ent. The default password is “adaptec.” See the Adaptec CI/O Management Software User’s Guide for information on setting security options.
Configuring ARO-1130SA with the SCSISelect Utility The SCSISelect configuration utility allows you to change SCSI set- tings without opening the server chassis or handling the card. SCSISelect also contains utilities that allow you to low-level format or verify the disk media of your SCSI hard disk drives.
ARO-1130SA Installation and Hardware Guide Starting the SCSI Select Utility To start SCSISelect, press Ctrl-A when the following prompt appears when you turn on or reboot your server: Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility! The menu that appears displays the options Configure/View Host Adapter Settings and SCSI Disk Utilities, as shown in Figure 7-1.
MS-DOS Fdisk and Format . Most SCSI disk devices are preformatted at the factory and do not need to be formatted again. The Adaptec Format Disk util- ity is compatible with the vast majority of SCSI disk drives. Caution: drive.
The following settings are the SCSISelect settings most likely to require any modification. Host Adapter SCSI ID— This option sets the ARO-1130SA’s SCSI ID. We recommend that you leave the ARO-1130SA set to SCSI ID 7, which gives the ARO-1130SA the highest priority on the SCSI bus.
Array1000xA BIOS supports hard disk drives attached to the SCSI channel. When set to Yes, the ARO-1130SA BIOS controls the hard disk drive. When set to No, the ARO-1130SA BIOS does not control the hard disk drive. Configuring ARO-1130SA with the SCSISelect Utility...
Array1000xA BIOS This option determines whether the ARO-1130SA BIOS is installed at boot time. When set to Enabled, the ARO-1130SA BIOS is installed and all Int13 (except bootable CD-ROM) devices are supported. When set to Disabled, the ARO-1130SA BIOS is not installed.
Using the ARO-1130SA with Other Adaptec Products You cannot install more than one ARO-1130SA card in the same system; however, you can install an ARO-1130SA in servers that have other PCI-, ISA-, or EISA-based host adapters installed. When installing multiple adapters, consider the following: Adaptec AAA-130xx Series adapters cannot coexist with an ARO-1130SA inside a RAIDport I or II equipped system.
AHA-3940, or Other AIC-78x0 Based Host Adapter and Driver Disk B (Windows NT Only) This section offers two scenarios for using the ARO-1130SA in a sys- tem also containing any of the above host adapters. If the Array1000xA BIOS & Driver Selection Utility (see Chapter 3) deter- mines you require Disk B of the manager set driver diskettes, follow the scenario below that matches your situation.
Scenario #1: Adding an ARO-1130SA to a RAID port I or II System with an AHA-294x, AHA-3940, or Other AIC-78x0 Based Host Adapter These instructions assume that Windows NT is already installed on the server and that the boot drive is currently connected to an AHA-294x, AHA-3940, or any other AIC-78x0 based host adapter.

ARO-1130SA Installation and Hardware Guide Backing up the Windows NT Registry It is very important to back up the Windows NT Registry before making any changes to it. This will allow you to recover if the changes make your system unusable. Here are two ways to back up the Windows NT Registry.
Troubleshooting Checklist Check the following if you have problems installing or running the ARO-1130SA and SCSI devices: Does the ARO-1130SA BIOS sign-on message appear during bootup? If not, check the following items: – Is the ARO-1130SA properly seated in a PCI/RAIDport expansion slot? Refer to your computer documentation for the slot location.
ARO-1130SA Installation and Hardware Guide Problems Running the Software On Your Windows NT Server If the Adaptec CI/O Management Software does not start when you double-click the program icon and you see a warning box with Unable to Initialize IOMAPI, try the following: Verify that the following NT services have a status of Started (double-click the Services icon in Control Panel).
