Smart Array 5300 Controller User Guide

Upgrading and Replacing Options
Enabling RAID ADG
You can enable RAID ADG on a Smart Array 5300 Controller by installing a
software key. Alternatively, if you have an older version of the controller, you can
install a hardware enabler module on the controller board.
Using the Software Key
1. Confirm that the array accelerator has a capacity of at least 64 MB.
2. Close all applications and utilities on the server containing the controller.
3. Insert the CD from the RAID ADG option software kit into the CD-ROM drive.
4. Reboot the server.
5. If necessary, upgrade the controller firmware to the version provided on the CD,
and then reboot the server. (This step is required, for example, if the controller is
a Smart Array 5300 with a current firmware version less than 2.72.)
NOTE: If the firmware on the controller is newer than that on the CD, the flash utility does
not replace it with the earlier firmware from the CD.
6. Select Array Configuration Utility 6.0 from the CD menu.
This action opens ACU 6.0, the browser-based version of the Array
Configuration Utility (ACU).
IMPORTANT: Use the version of ACU 6.0 that is provided on the CD. The software key
cannot be installed using versions of ACU 6.0 earlier than 1.40, nor can it be installed
using ACU.
7. When the utility has loaded, select the controller that is to be used to configure
RAID ADG.
8. Select License Key Management.
9. Select Enter License Key.
10. Enter the 25-character license key (provided on the CD sleeve) and click Submit.
If you wish, you can now configure the controller using ACU 6.0.
11. Exit ACU 6.0, remove the CD, and reboot the server.
