Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide
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.
!
Caution: If data exists on drives before implementing RAID,
backup data prior to installing RAID controller as data will be
lost during RAID creation.
Creating an Array Using SMOR
1 If you wish to set up an array using SMOR, the controller's on-
board BIOS system, do the following:
Note: In using the following sequence to create an array, the
following conditions will be assumed. Three drives are
attached to channel 1 and will be used to set up a bootable
RAID 5. For details on setting up other arrays, or for
information about using SMOR, consult the Adaptec SCSI
RAID Software User's Guide on the enclosed CD.
2 Restart the system. While the system is restarting, press Ctrl-A
when the controller BIOS displays on the screen.
3 When the blue-background SMOR screen displays, press Alt-R
to pull down the RAID menu.
