Additional Steps to Set Up an Array

Device Drivers

Device drivers that make the controller compatible with the supported
operating systems can be found in the Mylex Disk Array Controller Software
Kit. For details on how to install and load drivers, refer to the Disk Array
Controller Software Kit Installation Guide and User Manual (P/N 771929).

Global Array Manager (GAM)

The controller can be configured using GAM. GAM can also be used from
the server or a system client to monitor status and verify data integrity of
disks connected to the controller while the system and disks are running.
For details on how to install and run GAM, refer to the Global Array
Manager Client Software Installation Guide and User Manual
(P/N 771961). This manual can be obtained at no cost from the Mylex web
site (www.mylex.com).

What to Check in Case of Problems

If problems are encountered during start-up, check the following:
• Check SCSI cabling for loose connections, pin mismatches (make sure
pin 1 on the cable matches pin 1 on the connector), bent pins, and
damaged or crossed cables.
• Check termination.
• Check sure each drive on a SCSI channel has a unique SCSI ID other
than 7.
