Installing the MegaRAID Controller

If the InterRAID-8e option includes a MegaRAID controller in the shipping carton, follow
these instructions to install the controller into the system. Otherwise, go to "Setting up the
Cabinet." The following table shows information about the deskside systems that allow the
InterRAID-8e option.
System
TDZ-610
InterServe 6x5 with RAID
InterServe 6x5 non-RAID
InterServe 80
InterServe 8000
NOTE The systems with "Not applicable" for primary controller slot use a fixed disk drive as the boot
drive. All installed MegaRAID controllers are treated as secondary.
The following figure shows the three channel MegaRAID controller and Channels 0, 1, and
2. The two-channel version of the controller does not include the components for Channel 2.
Channel 0
(External)
Channel 1
(External)
NOTE For those systems using an internal channel for the internal RAID section, you cannot use the
external channel with the same number. For example, the InterServe 8000 uses Channel 0
and Channel 1 for the internal RAID section. Therefore, external Channel 0 and Channel 1 is
not available for connection.
