◊ You do not need to set the SCSI transfer rate if you are using internal
hot-swap mass storage only, since it is Ultra2.
• To operate in I
2
O mode, set the PCI class code to I2O mode.
NOTE Instead of using HP NetRAID Express Tools to change the
PCI class code, you can use the Set Class utility in the "
HP NetRAID Software for DOS" utility in the diskette library
on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. This is faster if you
have multiple HP NetRAID Series adapters because it avoids
multiple restarts of the HP NetServer.
• If you need to prevent booting from the HP NetRAID subsystem,
disable the HP NetRAID BIOS.
HP NetRAID Express Tools is a configuration and management utility that
resides in a chip on the HP NetRAID board along with the HP NetRAID BIOS
and firmware. For more information about HP NetRAID Express Tools and its
functions, refer to the HP NetRAID Series User Guide in Information Assistant.
To Start HP NetRAID Express Tools
1. Start the host HP NetServer and watch for the flashing message:
Option: Experienced users may press <Ctrl> <M> for
HP NetRAID Express Tools now.
Firmware Initializing
2. While this message is flashing, press <Ctrl> <M>. When the system
stops scanning, HP NetRAID Express Tools starts and displays the Tools
Management menu.
To Disable the HP NetRAID BIOS
If you want to prevent the system from booting from any of the following
HP NetRAID Series adapters, or from the integrated HP NetRAID controller (if
present), you can disable the HP NetRAID BIOS:
• HP NetRAID (D4943A)
• HP NetRAID-1 (D4992A)
