Using A Pre-Loaded Scsi Drive "As-Is; Exiting Megaraid Configuration Utility - LSI SCSI 320-0 Configuration

Using a Pre-loaded SCSI Drive "As-is"

To use a pre-loaded system drive in the manner described here, you
must make it the first logical drive defined (for example: LD1) on the
controller it is connected to. This will make the drive ID 0 LUN 0.
If the drive is not a boot device, the logical drive number is not critical.
You may have a SCSI disk drive that is already loaded with software. The drive
may be a boot disk containing an operating system. You can use the MegaRAID
controller as a SCSI adapter for such a drive by performing the following steps:
Step
1 Connect the SCSI drive to the channel on the MegaRAID controller, with
proper termination and TID settings.
2 Boot the computer and start Configuration Utility by pressing <Ctrl>
<M>.
3 Choose Easy Configuration from the Configure menu.
4 Press the cursor keys to select the pre-loaded drive.
5 Press the spacebar. The pre-loaded drive should now become an array
element.
6 Press <Enter>. You have now declared the pre-loaded drive as a one-disk
array. Display the logical drive configuration screen.
7 Set the read policy and cache option on the Advanced menu.
8 Exit the Advanced menu. Highlight Accept and press <Enter>.
9 Press <Esc> and choose Yes at the Save prompt.
10 Exit Configuration Utility and reboot.
11 Set the host system to boot from SCSI, if such a setting is available.

Exiting MegaRAID Configuration Utility

Press <Esc> when the MegaRAID Configuration Utility management menu is
displayed to exit MegaRAID Configuration Utility. Choose Yes at the prompt.
You must then reboot the computer. The MegaRAID BIOS message appears
