To configure SWXA3–BD host adapter:
1. Turn on the power to the RAID Array 3000 by pushing in the button
switch on the top right front of the enclosure. Make sure the power
indicator on the top right front of the enclosure lights and the fans start
to turn.
2. Boot your computer, and when you see the prompt to access the
SWXA3-BD (2944UW) BIOS setup, press the Ctrl+A keys. Watch
closely, the prompt appears quickly at the bottom of the screen during
the boot routine.
3. Select Configuration/View Host Adapter Settings and then press the
Enter key.
4. Press the F6 key to set the adapter to its default settings.
5. Select SCSI Device Configuration and then press the Enter key.
6. Verify that Initiate Wide Negotiation settings are set to Yes.
NOTE: Keeping the 2944UW BIOS enabled might interfere with the system boot path. If
you are not using the RAID Array 3000 as the boot device for Windows 2000, you can
disable the 2944UW BIOS; to do so set Host Adapter BIOS to Disabled.
7. Save the configuration and exit the BIOS setup.
