Scsi Termination; Termination - Intel SRCMR - RAID 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 clustering, array roaming, or
merging.
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
FRU 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 SRCMR from your system.
d. On Jumper block J2B1 move jumper from position 1-2 to position 2-3. Reinstall Intel
RAID Controller SRCMR 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 disks 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 Intel RAID
Controller SRCMR zero channel RAID design lowers cost by utilizing the SCSI controller and
connectors that are integrated into the system's motherboard.
