Page 8: Introduction
Storage Management Software Overview Safety Information Read this First Before you begin installing your new Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/ 2015S Zero Channel RAID (ZCR) controller, read this chapter. This chapter is an important guide to the rest of the documentation and provides a summary of the installation process. -

The Adaptec ZCR controllers provide advanced RAID functionality to server motherboards incorporating on-board Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI and Embedded RAID Logic (EMRL) or RAIDIOS™ logic. The ASR-2010S is designed to work in one of the supported EMRL- or RAIDIOS-enabled PCI slots. The ASR-2015S plugs into a specially-designed SO-DIMM PCI connector, present only on specific motherboards. -

Page 12: Specific Characteristics Of Zcr Controllers
Specific Characteristics of ZCR Controllers ZCR controllers perform the same functions as add-in RAID controller cards, but Adaptec’s ZCR controllers can only be used in motherboards that support EMRL or RAIDIOS logic and on-board Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI Protocol Chips (SPC). When a ZCR is not installed, EMRL logic is not active, letting the SPC function as a SCSI adapter only. - Page 13 PCI slot route to the motherboard ZCR connector -- allowing the ZCR card to be plugged in without using a PCI slot, critical for high-density applications. The following figure shows the relationship of the Adaptec ZCR 2015S to the IOC, PCI bus, and EMRL logic.

Note: SCSI drives should, in general, not be reformatted. However, if your SCSI drive was formatted to a sector size other than 512 bytes, you must reformat the drive before you can use it in a RAID. Refer to the Adaptec Storage Management Software User’s Guide for details. -
Page 19: Narrow And Wide Scsi Devices
Narrow and Wide SCSI Devices You can attach either narrow (8-bit) or wide (16-bit) SCSI devices to your Adaptec ZCR controller. If you use narrow and wide devices on the same wide cable, put one of the wide devices at the end of the cable. -

ID are not attached to the same bus. If necessary, the Adaptec ZCR controller ID can be changed to any ID from 0 through 7. Use SMOR or the Configure Host Bus Adapter window in Adaptec Storage Management to change the controller SCSI ID. - Page 21 Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide SCSI termination is configured through the SMOR utility or from the Configure Host Bus Adapter window in Adaptec Storage Management. The controller has only these termination settings: Setting Function Default—Enables the controller termination built.

To ensure proper installation, examine the screen during system boot. Instead of showing an Adaptec SCSI BIOS message, the system will display an Adaptec I SCSI scans and RAID device creation. -
Page 23: Considerations To Adding A Zcr Controller To An Existing Compatible System
The Adaptec ZCR controllers have unique installation requirements. These controllers are ZCR cards and work with the motherboard’s embedded Adaptec SCSI chip to provide advanced RAID functionality. SCSI devices may be connected to the system prior to installation of the ZCR. Under these conditions, the user should back-up any data on the disk drives prior to implementing a ZCR solution. -
Page 24: Determining The Booting Controller
OK on the window that appears. The system will restart. Determining the Booting Controller Adaptec ZCR controllers are shipped with a controller BIOS ROM enabled for PCI assignment. This BIOS intercepts and processes Int13h BIOS calls with an embedded DOS driver. -
Page 25: Configuring The Controller To Boot From Channel 1
Both the IRQ and address space used are not set by the user. During the host system start process, the system BIOS should automatically configure the controller BIOS Interrupt Request (IRQ) level and memory location for all Adaptec PCI controllers in the system. -
Page 26: After Setting Up Your System
Installing Your Controller After Setting Up your System After your system is set up, you can use all of the advanced features of Adaptec Storage Management to modify and improve the RAID. The array build/rebuild process occurs in the background and therefore the array can be used while the array is building/ rebuilding. -
