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.
To install your ZCR controller, insert the device into the supported
ZCR enabled slot on the motherboard (consult your system's
documentation for the supported slot(s)). Load the driver
associated with the operating system as described in this guide. To
ensure proper installation, examine the screen during system boot.
Instead of showing an Adaptec SCSI BIOS message, the system will
display an Adaptec I
2
O BIOS message indicating the results of its
SCSI scans and RAID device creation.
1 Locate the SCSI connectors on the motherboard and connect
any internal drive cables now, if not already connected.
2 Install the ASR-2010S controller in the appropriate ZCR slot
allocated for it and secure the controller bracket to the
motherboard case with the screw provided in the system. There
will be only one ZCR enabled slot on the motherboard. It will
often be a different color than the rest.
ASR-2015S controllers may be secured using either locking
stand-offs into the holes in the board, or via other means
available from the system manufacturer. Care should be taken
to ensure that the controller board is not pressing against any
cables or internal hardware.
