controller LEDs When the power-up sequence is complete, viewing the LEDs can help you determine the operating status of the controller. These LED patterns are also useful for troubleshooting. Refer to Appendix C for more information on interpreting LED patterns. Function Indicates that controller is working and interrupts are enabled. -

troubleshooting This appendix provides answers to many frequently asked questions. If a situation occurs that is not covered in this appendix, or if these recommendations do not correct the problem, contact Adaptec Technical Support. When the controller BIOS displays the hard drives during startup, a device fails to appear. - Page 102 Adaptec RAID Installation Guide The controller fails to respond and the IRQ LED (and possibly other LEDs) remains lit. The IRQ LED indicates that the controller IRQ assignment is pending. This usually indicates an IRQ conflict with another card. Verify that each card is set to a unique IRQ. Refer to Appendix A for the location of the LEDs on your controller.

- Page 104 Adaptec RAID Installation Guide You want the system to boot from a drive that is not attached to an Adaptec controller. However, during startup, the controller BIOS message appears first, indicating that a drive attached to an Adaptec controller will be the boot drive. Use SMOR to disable Boot Enable for that controller.

controller reset procedures In this Appendix NVRAM reset Flash Mode 0 This Appendix describes procedures that you can use to reset your controller in the event the controller becomes inoperable for the reasons described below: NVRAM Reset—The controller was improperly configured. Flash Mode 0—An upgrade to the controller was attempted, but failed. -
Page 106: Nvram Reset
Adaptec RAID Installation Guide NVRAM reset Adaptec RAID controllers retain their setup parameters even when powered O . These parameters are stored on the controller in an area of nonvolatile memory (NVRAM). There is a possibility that, through improper configuration, the controller can be put into a state where it hangs the system during boot. - Page 107 controller reset procedures When you see the Adaptec splash screen, click Create Driver Disk. Then, click the appropriate menu option. Insert a floppy disk and click OK. The system creates the bootable SMOR disk. Remove the Adaptec RAID Installation CD and the driver floppy disk.
