Enabling the MegaRAID Audible Alarm

On an InterServe 80 SL with a MegaRAID disk controller, the controller's audible alarm is
disabled by default. You can configure the InterSite Watchdog program to alert you to RAID
problems such as disk failures. If you want to enable the controller's audible alarm, you can
do so using the MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility or Power Console.
CAUTION This alarm is quite loud and can be annoying if not silenced within a reasonable amount of
time. It can only be silenced through MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility or Power
Console. If Power Console is not installed or running, the alarm cannot be silenced while
Windows NT Server is running.
For more information, see the InterRAID documentation delivered with the system.

Ensuring PC Card Support and Operation

The optional PC Card adapter is used with devices based on standards developed by the
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). Windows NT
provides support for PC Card devices. See the operating system documentation and Help for
more information on PC Card device support.
If you will be using a PC Card hard disk device (ATA or AT type) with a system running
Windows NT, make sure the device drivers that control PC Card hard disk operation are set
to start correctly. Set the Atdisk device to start as a System device; set the Pcmcia device to
start as a Boot device. Do this before inserting a PC Card hard disk device in the PC Card
adapter. If you do not, anomalous behavior may result -- for example, the PC Card hard disk
drive may not be detected by Windows NT, or may be detected as the system drive (drive C).
NOTE You must shut down the system before inserting a PC Card device in the PC Card adapter.
When you restart the system, Windows NT will recognize the PC Card device.
To change the startup type for device drivers that control PC Card hard disks:
1. Open Devices in the Windows NT Control Panel. The Devices dialog displays.
2. Highlight the Atdisk device in the Device list; then select Startup. The Device dialog
displays.
