Configure The Raid Controller; Replacing A Controller, Resolving A Config Mismatch - Intel SRCSASLS4I - RAID Controller Hardware User's Manual

Configure the RAID Controller

1. Turn on the system power and listen to be sure that the SATA devices power up
before or at the same time as the system.
2. During the boot, a BIOS message displays to state the keys to press to enter the
Intel
Press <CTRL><G> to run BIOS Console 2.
This message times out after several seconds. If you miss it, you need to restart the
system.
After you press the keys to enter the Intel
firmware takes several seconds to initialize and then display the Intel
Controller SRCSASLS4I number and firmware version. The numbering of the
RAID controller follows the PCI slot scanning order used by the server board.
3. See the Quick Start User's Guide and the Software User's Guide for instructions to
configure the RAID controller and to install the operating system drivers.

Replacing a Controller, Resolving a Config Mismatch

To replace the RAID controller, see your server system documentation for instructions to
remove and then install an add-in adapter.
If the newly installed RAID controller was previously configured, a message displays
during POST, stating that there is a configuration mismatch because the configuration data
in the NVRAM differs from that in the hard drives. Use these steps to resolve the
mismatch:
1. Press <Ctrl> + <G> when prompted during boot up to access the BIOS
Configuration Utility.
2. Select Configure > View/Add Configuration to see the NVRAM and drive
configurations.
3. Since the drives contain the correct configuration, use configuration from the disks.
4. Press <Esc> and select YES to update the NVRAM.
5. Exit and reboot.
