  • Page 20: Setting Up Scsi Peripherals

    AAA-130SA Series Installation and Hardware Guide Setting Up SCSI Peripherals Setting up SCSI peripherals before attaching them to the AAA-13xSA RAID card typically involves setting SCSI IDs and ter- mination, mounting internal peripherals inside your computer or external array enclosure, and connecting power cables to each peripheral.

  • Page 21: Terminate The Ends

    The internal SCSI cables supplied in Adaptec AAA-13xSA RAID card kits have attached terminators, so you should disable termina- tion on all internal SCSI peripherals connected to the cable. In gen- eral, we recommend that you terminate the internal cable instead of terminating the SCSI peripherals.

  • Page 35: Creating The First Array With The Array Config Sa

    Software provides a convenient user interface for efficient creation of non-bootable arrays and array management over the network. Refer to the Adaptec CI/O Management Software User’s Guide for more information. Before creating the array, make sure the disks for the array are con- nected and installed in your server (or array enclosure).

  • Page 36: Creating An Array

    If one disk in a pair fails, data is available. The actual data capacity of the array equals half the total available disk space. See the Adaptec CI/O Management Software User’s Guide for more information on selecting a RAID level.

To select drives on a different channel press Tab to select another channel and then select the drives from the SCSI IDs on Channel menu.
  • Page 38 Create additional arrays. You may use ArrayConfigSA to create additional arrays (if disks are available), however we recom- mend using Adaptec CI/O Management Software to create additional arrays and for array management. See the Adaptec CI/O Management Software User’s Guide for more information.

  • Page 39: Making The Array Bootable

    Creating the First Array With the ArrayConfigSA Utility When all arrays are created, exit ArrayConfigSA, remove the ArrayConfigSA diskette, and reboot the server.
