R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 5 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Introduction Specific Characteristics of ZCR Controllers ZCR controllers perform the same functions as add-in RAID controller cards, but Adaptec’s ZCR controllers can only be used in motherboards that support EMRL or RAIDIOS logic and on-board Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI Protocol Chips (SPC). When a ZCR is not installed, EMRL logic is not active, letting the SPC function as a SCSI adapter only.

R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 2 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide Narrow and Wide SCSI Devices You can attach either narrow (8-bit) or wide (16-bit) SCSI devices to your Adaptec ZCR controller. If you use narrow and wide devices on the same wide cable, put one of the wide devices at the end of the cable. This ensures that the 16-bit signals are correctly terminated. Wide devices allow data to be transferred at twice the rate of narrow devices.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 3 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Installing Your Controller Set the SCSI ID of each SCSI device attached to the controller to a unique ID number between 0 and 6. The Adaptec RAID controller is set to ID 7 by default (most SCSI controllers use ID 7). Wide SCSI devices can also use SCSI IDs 8 through 15. SCSI IDs can only be duplicated on the same controller if the devices using the same ID are not attached to the same bus.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 4 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide SCSI termination is configured through the SMOR utility or from the Configure Host Bus Adapter window in Adaptec Storage Management. The controller has only these termination settings: Setting Function On Default—Enables the controller termination built. Off Disables the built-in controller termination. Use only if the controller will not be situated at one end of the cable.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 5 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Installing Your Controller Installing the Controller The Adaptec 2010S controller has a standard 64-bit, 3.3V PCI interface but will only function properly when inserted into a PCI slot supporting EMRL or Intel RAIDIOS logic. The ASR-2015S controller also has a unique design but plugs into a special EMRL enabled SO-DIMM socket provided on specific motherboards.

This entry, which may be on the same screen, or in a subsequent screen, will order the system’s on-board drive, usually the IDE drive, and that of the controller that is being added. Make the controller the first hard disk drive to be used if you wish to start the system from the controller’s array.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 9 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Installing Your Controller After Setting Up your System After your system is set up, you can use all of the advanced features of Adaptec Storage Management to modify and improve the RAID. The array build/rebuild process occurs in the background and therefore the array can be used while the array is building/ rebuilding.

Identify the appropriate scenario and read the entire procedure and related explanations before proceeding. Instructions are provided for installing a new system, and for upgrading an existing system by adding the ZCR.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 2 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide Driver Disks A system with an Adaptec SCSI RAID controller installed will need to have an appropriate driver for the controller to operate properly. Installation is easier when the drivers are available on a floppy disk. Create the driver disk from the included CD.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 3 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Installing the Driver New Installations For new installations of any of the operating systems supported, it is possible, if not desireable, to install the operating system on an array. This provides a more robust system, since failure of a drive won’t cause the system to stop running. Any such installation requires that the redundant array be created prior to installing the operating system.

Caution: When adding a ZCR controller to an existing system, backup all data from system drives prior to the installation.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 5 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Installing the Driver 5 When the Windows 2000/XP installation starts, a blue screen appears after the hardware detection message. When prompted to install a third-party driver, press F6. Note: You only have 5 seconds to press the F6 key during the installation startup. A prompt appears at the bottom of the screen when F6 is active.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 6 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide 4 Start Windows 2000/XP. Windows launches the Found New Hardware Wizard, which searches for the controller. 5 Insert the driver disk you created at the beginning of this chapter, select it, and click Next. 6 Click Next in the succeeding two windows that appear. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. 7 Reinstall any applications or data that had been backup up.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 7 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Installing the Driver To install the driver: 1 Create the driver disk as shown at the beginning of this chapter. Remove the floppy disk after it is created. 2 Install and configure your Adaptec ZCR controller and hard disk drives according to the instructions in Chapter 2. 3 Start up the system. During startup, press Ctrl+A to start SMOR. Use SMOR to create the RAID.

R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 9 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Installing the Driver Installing the Driver in a New Linux System The drivers for the ASR-2010S and ASR-2015S are embedded in version 7.3 of Red Hat. Installing the controller in a new Red Hat Linux system doesn’t require any driver installation. This scenario is for installing the controller into a new system, where the operating system will be loaded to a RAID.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 10 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide Installing the Controller in an Existing Linux System Adding the controller to an existing system is essentially the same as if the system were new. Data on any hard disk drive attached to the SCSI channels that will be controlled by the ASR-2010S or ASR-2015S will not be accessible after the Adaptec ZCR controller is inserted.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 11 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Installing the Driver 7 Once the system has started, verify that an entry has been made for the new controller in the modules configuration file by typing: cat\etc\modules.conf Look for an entry similar to: alias scsi_hostadapter dpt_i20 If the appropriate entry is not present, use an editor such as VI to make the change. 8 For the new module to start when the system boots, a new ramdisk will be required.

R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 1 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM B Troubleshooting This Appendix provides answers to many frequently asked questions. If a situation occurs that is not covered in this appendix, or if these recommendations do not correct the problem, contact Adaptec Technical Support. When the controller BIOS displays the hard disk drives during startup, a device fails to appear. The power cable or the interface cable may be loose or disconnected. There might also be a SCSI ID conflict.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 2 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide After updating the Adaptec controller firmware or BIOS and restarting, the controller does not respond. The update may have been unsuccessful. Reset the NVRAM to the default settings and reconfigure the ZCR. To reset the NVRAM, refer to Appendix C. You want the system to boot from a drive that is not attached to an Adaptec ZCR controller.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 1 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM C Controller Reset Procedures In this Appendix ➤ NVRAM Reset C-2 ➤ Flash Mode 0 C-2 This Appendix describes procedures that you can use to reset your controller in the event it becomes inoperable. ■ NVRAM Reset—The controller was improperly configured. ■ Flash Mode 0—An upgrade to the controller was attempted, but failed.
R2N2 RAID IG.BOOK Page 2 Monday, September 9, 2002 12:01 PM Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide NVRAM Reset Adaptec ZCR controllers retain their setup parameters even when powered off. These parameters are stored on the controller in an area of nonvolatile memory called NVRAM. There is a possibility that, through improper configuration, the controller can be put into a state where it hangs the system.
