Using the SCSISelect Utility program (for SCSI RAID)
Use the SCSISelect Utility program to add RAID level-0 and level-1 functionality to
the integrated SCSI controller. This utility is part of the BIOS code in your computer.

must enable it and install the device drivers before you can use it. The SCSI RAID
configuration utilities, device drivers, and information are available on the IBM
ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD. If this CD did not come with your
computer, you can download it from http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
Enabling the SCSI HostRAID feature: Complete the following steps to enable the
SCSI RAID feature:
1. Turn on the computer.
2. When the prompt Press <CTRL><A> for SCSISelect Utility appears, press
Ctrl+A. If you have set a supervisor password, you are prompted to type the
password.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the channel for which you want to change settings,
and press Enter.
4. Select Configure/View SCSI Controller Setting; then, select HostRAID.
5. Select Enabled.
6. Press Esc; then, select Yes to save the changes.
Using the SCSI HostRAID feature: The instructions in this section describe how
to access the SCSI RAID feature from the SCSISelect Utility program and perform
an initial RAID level-1 configuration. If you install a different type of RAID adapter in
the computer, use the configuration method described in the instructions that come
with that adapter to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices.
See the documentation on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD
for additional information about how to use the SCSI HostRAID feature.
