Installing Raid Disk Drives - Intergraph TD-x10 Setup Manual

Installing RAID Disk Drives

If setting up a system with an internal Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID), you
must install the RAID disk drives before starting the system.
To install RAID disk drives:
1. Remove the RAID disk drives from the carton labeled "This box contains hard disks
loaded with operating system software." These are the boot drives (containing the
operating system), and they are labeled with a drive ID number.
2. Install the boot drives into the internal RAID slots as shown in the following figure.
For each RAID disk drive, extend the latching clips on the drive and align the rails on the
side of the drive with the guides inside the slot. Push the drive between the latching clips
until it slides all the way into the slot and firmly engages the connector. Close the
latching clips to lock the drive in the slot.
3. RAID disk drives without labels are unformatted. You can install them in any order after
installing the boot drives. Label them as follows: drive ID 4 in slot 4, drive ID 5 in slot
5, drive ID 6 in slot 6.
NOTE Do not use drive ID 3 for a RAID disk drive. Intergraph reserves SCSI ID 3 for the entire RAID
disk array.
For information on connecting to an external RAID disk array, or for more information on
RAID hardware, refer to the InterRAID documentation delivered with the system.
