Page 17: Hardware
Hardware ® You can install the Intel RAID Controller SRCU42E in a computer with a system board that has a x8 or x16 PCI Express slot. The following subsections describe the hardware configuration and configuration-on-disk. 1.3.1 RAID Controller Configurations Table 1-1 describes the features of the RAID Controller SRCU42E. -
Page 18: Configuration On Disk
1.3.2 Configuration on Disk ® Configuration on Disk saves configuration information both in NVRAM on the Intel RAID Controller SRCU42E and on the disk drives attached to the RAID Controller SRCU42E. If the RAID Controller SRCU42E is replaced, the new RAID Controller SRCU42E detects the actual RAID configuration from the configuration information on the drives. -

Page 22: Target Id's
Set target identifiers (TIDs) on the SCSI devices. Each device in a channel must have a unique TID. Provide unique TIDs for non-disk devices (CD-ROM or tapes), regardless ® of the channel where they are connected. The Intel RAID Controller SRCU42E automatically occupies TID 7, which is the highest priority. The arbitration priority for a SCSI device depends on its TID. - Page 23 ® 7) Connect SCSI devices to the Intel RAID Controller SRCU42E. Use SCSI cables to connect SCSI devices to the RAID Controller SRCU42E. To connect the SCSI devices: a. Disable termination on any SCSI device that does not sit at the end of the SCSI bus.
- Page 24 The BIOS Configuration utility prompt times out after several seconds. The second portion ® of the BIOS message displays the Intel RAID Controller SRCU42E number, firmware version, and cache SDRAM size. The numbering of the controllers follows the PCI slot scanning order used by the host system board.
