Scsi Termination; Termination - Intel SRCU31A - Server RAID U3-1A Controller User Manual

✏
NOTE
When the message Press Ctrl-C to interrupt Firmware Update process appears, this indicates that
the user can interrupt the firmware update process. If the firmware update process is interrupted
the user can then type fru -o to overwrite the existing firmware with a new image and serial
number. This process is used to resolve serial number conflicts in array roaming or merging.
d. The Flash Recovery Utility will pause at the Flash Recovery Utility screen. Press <Enter>
to continue.
e. The Flash Recovery Utility will pause to ensure that the adapter has been place in the Reset
mode (see step 1 above). If the adapter is in Reset mode, press <Y> to continue, otherwise
press <N>, shut down the system, and perform step 1 above.
✏
NOTE
If the firmware requires updating, it will continue and prompt for reboot when complete (note that
this update can take up to 3 minutes to complete). If the firmware has been previously updated, the
Flash Recovery Utility will notify the user that the StorCon is to be used for future. The user is then
notified to reboot the system.
3. Reset the jumper to Run mode.
a. Power off all system components and disconnect power cords.
b. Remove the system cover.
c. Remove the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 from your system.
d. On jumper block J7A1, move jumper from position 1-2 to position 2-3. Reinstall the Intel
RAID Controller SRCU31 in the PCI slot in which it was previously installed. Reattach
the SCSI drives to the adapter card.
e. Replace the cover, reconnect all power cords, and power up the system.
f. Boot the system. (Your firmware has now been successfully restored).

SCSI Termination

Termination

This is a commonly overlooked requirement when connecting SCSI devices together. When these
devices are connected together, the resulting set of devices is typically referred to as a SCSI bus.
SCSI devices such as hard disk drives and tape drives must be terminated if they are the last
physical devices at either end of the SCSI bus (if nothing else is actively terminating the end of the
bus such as a terminator or backplane). If a device is inserted into the middle of the SCSI bus, then
it (the device itself) should not be terminated. Only terminate each end of the bus.
The SRCU31 is a self terminating adapter. This means that the end of the SCSI cable that is
connected to the SRCU31 will be terminated automatically. The other end of the SCSI cable will
not be automatically terminated. Ensure that the other end is properly terminated. Refer to one of
the methods below to terminate the other end of the SCSI bus.
