Compaq SMART-2, SMART-2SL Array Controllers
Bus Types:
EISA, PCI
Systems Supported:
Internal and external SCSI drives on Compaq
servers
Preconfiguration Information
The SMART-2/SMART–2SL controllers only support SCSI disk drives. SCSI tape
drives and CD-ROM drives are not supported.
The boot device must be logical drive 0 on the primary controller. Even though the
BIOS lets you configure any controller as the primary controller, it will only let
you boot from logical drive 0 on that controller.
EISA systems only: Configure the system using the Compaq EISA configuration
utility (ECU version 2.30 and later) so the system recognizes the SMART-2
controller.
Known Problems and Limitations
If disks on a failed drive are replaced by hotplugging during I/O, the system
panics.
Firmware version 1.26 of the SMART-2 PCI controller is slow. For best results, use
firmware version 1.36.
