320-2 Controller  
Step Action

Set SCSI termination.  
Replace the computer cover and turn the power on.  
10 Run the MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility.  
11 Install the operating system driver.  
Step 1: Unpack MegaRAID Controller  
Unpack and install the MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Controller in a static-free  
environment. Remove the MegaRAID controller from the anti-static bag and  
inspect it for damage. If it appears to be damaged, or if the Driver and  
Documentation CD is missing, contact LSI Logic or your MegaRAID OEM  
support representative.  
Step 2: Prepare Computer  
Turn off the computer and remove the power cord from the back of the power  
supply. Remove the cover from the chassis. Make sure the computer is  
disconnected from the power and from any networks before installing the  
controller card.  
Step 3: Check MegaRAID Controller Jumpers  
Make sure the jumper settings on the MegaRAID controller are correct. The  
jumpers are set at the factory, and you probably do not need to change them.  
The following table lists the MegaRAID controller jumpers that you should  
check:  
Thank you for purchasing the MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Controller. Please take  
a few minutes to read this Quick Hardware Setup Guide before you install the  
MegaRAID controller. If you need more information about any topic covered in  
this guide, please refer to the other documents on your Driver and  
Documentation CD.

J2  
SCSI activity indicator: this can be connected to the 4-pin header  
hard disk LED on the computer enclosure to display  
SCSI bus activity.  
The Driver and Documentation CD is packaged with the MegaRAID SCSI  
320-2 Controller. The CD contains utility programs, device drivers for various  
operating systems, and the following documentation:  
J3  
Write Pending indicator: this can be connected to 2-pin header  
an LED on the computer enclosure. The LED will be  
lit when data in the cache has not yet been written  
to the storage device.

S
RAID 5 (Disk striping with distributed parity): Data is striped across all  
disks in the array. Part of the capacity of each disk is used to store parity  
information that is used to reconstruct data if a disk fails. Provides good  
data throughput for applications with high read request rates. (3 to 15 disk  
drives)

RAID 10 (RAID 1 and RAID 0 in spanned arrays): Uses mirrored pairs of  
disks to provide complete data redundancy. Provides high data throughput  
rates. (4 to 14 disk drives)  
RAID 50 (RAID 5 and RAID 0 in spanned arrays): Uses both parity and  
disk striping across multiple disks to provide complete data redundancy.  
Provides high data throughput rates. (6 to 15 disk drives)

Step 9: Power Up the Computer  
Replace the computer cover and connect the power cords to all the SCSI  
devices and to the computer itself. Turn on the power to all devices. Be sure  
the SCSI devices are powered up before the computer or at the same time as  
the computer. Otherwise, the computer may not recognize the SCSI devices.  
Observe the messages that appear during the boot process, until you see the  
message:  
Press <Ctrl><M> to run MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 BIOS Configuration Utility  
Step 10: Run the MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility  
When the “Press <Ctrl><M>” message appears on the screen, press  
<Ctrl><M> immediately to run the MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility. See  
the MegaRAID Configuration Software Guide on the Driver and Documentation  
CD for information about how to run and use this program.  
If your MegaRAID controller includes a backup battery pack, you must  
configure it in the BIOS Configuration Utility.  
Step 11: Install the Operating System Driver  
The MegaRAID controller can operate under MS-DOS® or any DOS-  
compatible operating system using the standard AT BIOS INT 13h Hard Disk  
Drive interface. To operate with other operating systems, you must install  
software drivers. The Driver and Documentation CD includes drivers for the  
following operating systems:  
S
S
MS-DOS version 6.xx or later  
Microsoft Windows NT v4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and  
Windows .NET  
S
S
Novell NetWare 5.1 and 6.0  
Red Hat Linux 7.2 and 7.3  
Supported RAID Levels  
The MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Controller supports disk arrays using the following  
RAID levels:  
S
RAID 0 (Data striping): Data is striped across all disks in the array,  
enabling very fast data throughput. There is no data redundancy. All data  
is lost if any disk fails. (1-15 disk drives)  
S
RAID 1 (Disk mirroring): Data is written simultaneously to two disks,  
providing complete data redundancy in case one disk fails. The array  
capacity is half of total disk space. (2 disk drives)
