General Problems and Suggested Solutions (Cont.)
Problem
Pressed <Ctrl><M>. Ran
Megaconf.exe and tried to make a new
configuration. The system hangs when
scanning devices.
Multiple drives connected to the
MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 use the same
power supply. There is a problem
spinning the drives all at once.
Pressing <Ctrl><M> or running
megaconf.exe does not display the
Management Menu.
At system power-up with the
MegaRAID installed, the screen display
is garbled.
Cannot flash or update the EEPROM.
Firmware Initializing...
appears and remains on the screen.
What is the maximum number of
MegaRAID adapters per computer?
What SCSI IDs can a non-hard disk
device have and what is maximum
number allowed per adapter?
Why does a failed logical array still get
a drive assignment?
8-2
Suggested Solution
Check the drives IDs on each channel to make sure each
device has a different ID.
Check the termination. The device at the end of the channel
must be terminated.
Replace the drive cable.
Set the drives to spin on command. This will allow
MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 to spin two devices simultaneously.
These utilities require a color monitor.
At least 32 Mbytes of memory must be installed before
power-up.
You may need a new EEPROM.
Make sure that TERMPWR is being properly provided to
each peripheral device populated channel.
Make sure that each end of the channel chain is properly
terminated using the recommended terminator type for the
peripheral device. The channel is automatically terminated
at the MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 card if only one cable is
connected to a channel.
Make sure that memory modules are PC100 or faster.
Make sure that the MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 controller is
properly seated in the PCI slot.
Currently, all the utilities and drivers support up to 12
MegaRAID adapters per system.
Non-hard disk devices can accommodate only SCSI IDs 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, regardless of the channel used. A maximum
of six non-hard disk devices are supported per MegaRAID
SCSI 320-2 adapter.
