To achieve top performance through disk striping, a RAIDport
provided on the system board aligned with PCI socket 3.
®
When the Adaptec
and RAIDport, the adapter sets up and accelerates disk striping on
hard disks connected to the internal UltraWide 16-bit SCSI controller.
®
The Adaptec RAIDport adapter should be used with one or two
stripped hard disks.
Disk striping is supported only in Windows NT 4.0.
The Adaptec CI/O Array Manager software can be used to manage and
view the performance of the adapter.
Although the RAIDport adapter is normally set up to maximize disk
performance ("RAID 0" configuration), it can instead be configured to
provide mirroring for extra data security ("RAID 1" configuration).
Refer to the drive's installation guide to see if you must set jumpers or
if there is a special installation procedure to follow.
If you are installing an additional SCSI drive, you should assign an
unused SCSI address to this accessory. SCSI addresses range from 0 to
7 for Ultra narrow 8-bit SCSI and from 0 to 15 for Ultra wide 16-bit SCSI.
SCSI address 0 is used by the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI
address 7 is reserved for the integrated SCSI controller (the default for
narrow and wide SCSI devices).
You do not need to select a SCSI address for Plug and Play SCSI hard
disks (SCSI hard disks that support the SCAM protocol). SCAM is
disabled if the RAIDport adapter is installed.
You should assign an unused SCSI address to the second SCSI hard
disk drive (for example, SCSI address 1).
The SCSI address is usually configured with jumpers on the SCSI hard
disk drive. Refer to the installation guide supplied with the drive for
information on selecting a SCSI address.
Some internal SCSI disk drives may have termination resistors that
must be removed or disabled before installation in your computer.
Refer to the drive's installation guide for more details and to see if
there is a special installation procedure to follow.
