Quick Hardware Installation Guide
Step 5 - Set Jumpers
Make sure the jumper settings on the MegaRAID Elite 1600 card are correct. Jumper
setting details can be found in the MegaRAID Elite 1600 Hardware Guide.
Step 6 - Set SCSI Termination
Each MegaRAID SCSI channel can be individually configured for termination enable
mode by setting the J2 and J3 jumpers.
You must terminate the SCSI bus properly. Set termination at both ends of the SCSI
cable. The SCSI bus is an electrical transmission line and must be terminated
properly to minimize reflections and losses. Typical configuration is to set the
Termination Enable jumpers to allow software to set termination automatically.
Step 7 - Set SCSI Terminator Power (TermPWR)
Important -
Both MegaRAID Elite 1600 SCSI channels need TermPWR to operate. If a
channel is not being used, make sure the TermPWR jumper for that channel is set to
supply TermPWR from the PCI bus. Jumpers J16 and J18 control TermPWR on the
Elite 1600.
Step 8 - Connect the Battery Harness (Optional)
You can install an optional Battery Backup unit onto J6 of Series 493 MegaRAID
Elite 1600 Ultra160 RAID controller. Call Technical Support at 770-246-8645 for
more information.

Step 9 - Install the MegaRAID 1600 Card
The MegaRAID card can plug into a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot that receives 5 V and,
optionally, 3.3 V through the motherboard. Choose a PCI slot and align the MegaRAID
controller card bus connector to the slot. Press down gently but firmly to make sure
that the card is properly seated in the slot. The bottom edge of the controller card
should be flush with the slot. Insert the MegaRAID card in a PCI slot as shown
below:
Step 10 - Connect the SCSI Cables to the SCSI Devices
Connect the SCSI cables to the SCSI devices. The MegaRAID Elite 1600 controller
provides two types of connectors: two internal high-density 68-pin SCSI connec-
tors and two external ultra high-density 68-pin SCSI connectors.

Step 11 - Set Target IDs
Set target identifiers (TIDs) on the SCSI devices. Each device in a specific SCSI
channel must have a unique TID in that channel. Non-disk devices, such as CD-ROM
or tape drives, should have unique SCSI IDs regardless of the channel to which they
are connected.
Step 12 - Power Up
Replace the computer cover and reconnect the AC power cords. Turn power on to the
host computer. Set up the power supplies so the SCSI devices are powered up at the
same time as or before the host computer. If the computer is powered up before a
SCSI device, the device might not be recognized.
During boot, the MegaRAID Enterprise 1600 BIOS message appears:
MegaRAID Elite 1600 Disk Array Adapter BIOS Version x.xx date
Copyright (C) American Megatrends, Inc.
Firmware Initializing . . . [Scanning SCSI Device ...(etc)... ]
The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time the adapter will scan
each SCSI channel. When it is ready, the following lines will appear:
host Adapter-1 Firmware Version x.xx date DRAM Size 8 MB
0 Logical Drives found on the Host Adapter
0 Logical Drives handled by BIOS
Press <Ctrl><M> to run MegaRAID Elite 1600 BIOS Configuration
Utility
The <Ctrl> <M> prompt times out after several seconds.
The MegaRAID Elite 1600 host adapter (controller) number, firmware version and
cache DRAM size are displayed in the second portion of the BIOS message. The
numbering of the controllers follows the PCI slot scanning order used by the host
motherboard.
Step 13 - Run MegaRAID Elite 1600 Configuration Utility
Press <Ctrl><M> to run the MegaRAID Elite 1600 BIOS Configuration Utility. See the
MegaRAID Configuration Software Guide for information about running MegaRAID
Configuration Utility.
Step 14 - Installing Software Drivers for the Desired Operating
Systems
