Controller IRQ and Address
During the host system boot process, the host system BIOS should
automatically configure the DPT I
memory location for all DPT PCI controllers in the system. If problems
occur, refer to Appendix B, "Troubleshooting" for additional help.
NVRAM Reset
SmartRAID VI controllers retain their setup parameters even when
powered off. These parameters are stored on the controller in an area of
nonvolatile memory (NVRAM). There is a possibility that, through
improper configuration, the controller can be put into a state where it
hangs the system during boot. If this happens, the parameters stored in
the NVRAM can be restored to their default settings by the following
procedure:
1.
Turn off power to the system.
2.
Place a shorting jumper across pins 1 and 2 of P4 on the
controller. Refer to Appendix A, "Assembly Drawings for the
location of P4 on your controller.
3.
Power on the system and wait until the LEDs 3, 5, 7 and 8 on the
controller begin flashing.
4.
Turn off power to the system and remove the jumper.
5.
Restart the host system. If the system restarts normally, the
controller can now be configured using SMOR or Storage
Manager.
If the system fails to boot, refer to Appendix B, "Troubleshooting" for
additional information.
