Hardware Setup

Hardware Requirements

•Server/Computer with CD-ROM Drive (not attached to SRCU31L)

•One available PCI slot (32 bit, 33 MHz recommended)

•Monitor (display resolution of 800 x 600 or higher recommended)

•Intel Server RAID Controller U3-1L Low Profile Adapter Card

Installing Intel Server RAID Controller U3-1L Low Profile

into a System

The SRCU31L comes ready to be inserted into the system motherboard. The

Intel Integrated RAID firmware has already been programmed into the flash

memory.

WARNING

SHOCK HAZARDS may be present inside the unit in which this card

is being installed. Disconnect all power cords to the unit before

removal of any covers.

Follow the warnings noted in your computers user or service

manual before installing this board. ONLY after all the covers are

reinstalled should you reattach the power cords and power up the

unit for the software installation and use.

1 Power down the system, disconnect power cord(s) and remove the system

cover.

2 Install the SRCU31L into an available PCI slot. Connect one end of the

SCSI cable to the internal (68 pin) or external (VHDCI) SCSI connector on

the SRCU31L. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI drives

or drive enclosure.

3 Replace the system cover, reconnect power cord(s).

✏NOTE

SRCU31L will work in a 64 bit slot, however, a 32 bit, 33 MHz PCI slot is

recommended. Consult the system guide for the target server board to

determine an appropriate 32 bit, 33 MHz PCI slot.

✏NOTE

Ensure that the end of the SCSI bus is properly terminated. Consult the

documentation for the drives or drive enclosure for termination details.

8 Intel Server RAID Controller U3-1L (SRCU31L)

Quick Start Guide

Intel®Integrated RAID Software Setup and

Installation

This guide details the installation of supported operating systems to a RAID

volume controlled by the SRCU31L. Operating systems can also be installed to

a pass-through drive (drive attached to SRCU31L, but controlled directly by the

host) or to a drive connected to a different controller. For instructions on using

SRCU31L with pass-through drives or drives attached to another controller,

refer to Chapter 2, “Advanced Installation Steps” in the SRCU31L User’s

Manual.

Create a RAID Volume for the Operating System

A RAID volume (or logical drive) must be set up prior to installing an operating

system when installing the operating system to a RAID volume. The volume

created in this step will host the operating system. Ensure that the volume’s size

is large enough to contain the operating system. The volume may contain more

than just the host operating system if desired.

Create and configure the operating system RAID volume (boot volume) using

the RAID Configuration Utility (RCU). For more information on using the

RCU please refer to Chapter 2, “Advanced Installation Steps” in the SRCU31L

User’s Manual.

✏NOTE

The RCU can only configure one RAID volume. If more than one RAID

volume is needed, use the Advanced RCU described in Chapter 2,

“Advanced Installation Steps” in the SRCU31L User’s Manual. By default,

the RCU uses all disks attached to the SRCU31L when creating a RAID

volume. To exclude a disk from the RAID volume, make it a pass through

disk. To create a pass through disk, use the

custom configuration

option in

the RCU.

1 Turn on the target system with the SRCU31L installed. During system

boot-up, the message press Ctrl C to run the RAID Configuration Utility

appears in the display. Press Ctrl C when this message appears to execute

the RCU.

2 Follow the screen instructions to create and configure a RAID volume.

Ensure that the volume is designated as the boot device when creating the

volume (you can verify it is the boot volume after it has been created by

using the custom configuration menu option in the main menu of the RCU).

3 Exit the RCU and reboot when finished. Proceed to the appropriate

operating system installation instructions to install the desired operating

system.

CAUTION

Do not install OSMs (Operation System Service Modules) downloaded

from OS vendor websites. An OSM is the operating system half of the

O split driver model. Using OSMs other than those provided on the Intel

Integrated RAID CD-ROM may yield unpredictable results.
