Read This First
Before you begin installing your new Adaptec controller, please take the time to read
this chapter. This chapter is an important guide to the rest of the documentation and
provides a summary of the installation process.
About the Documentation
1
Introduction
The complete documentation set for the Adaptec SCSI RAID product line consists of
three parts:
HP 2100S SCSI RAID Controller User Guide (this book), which contains
·
information that helps you to configure and install your Adaptec SCSI RAID
controller.
· · Storage Management Software User’s Guide, which describes how to use the
Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR) utility, and the RAIDUTIL command line
utility. This can be obtained at
www.adaptec.com
Storage Manager Online Help, which contains information about using the
Storage Manager software, using SCSI devices, and creating disk arrays. The
Storage Manager online help information contains both topical and pop-up helps
for Storage Manager and RAID concepts.
HP 2100S SCSI RAID Controller User Guide 1-1
Introduction
System Requirements
All Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers are PCI 2.2 compliant and are designed to
operate in host systems that comply with revision 2.2 of the PCI Local Bus
Specification.
Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers are also multifunction PCI devices. The host system
must be able to properly configure multifunction PCI devices, where one of the
devices is a bridge.
You must use cables designed for Ultra160 SCSI and active termination for your
SCSI bus.
Working with Electricity
Any device that uses electricity must be treated with caution. Follow these guidelines
to ensure general safety:
·
Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the
·
equipment unsafe.
Before working on the system, unplug the power cord.
·
— Disconnect all power before doing the following:
— Installing or removing a chassis
— Working near power supplies
·
Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
·
Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors,
·
ungrounded power extension cables, or missing safety grounds.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent electrostatic discharge, refer to Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge.”
1-2 HP 2100S SCSI RAID Controller User Guide
Introduction
Adaptec SCSI RAID products incorporate the latest intelligent controller technology
to deliver optimum performance for desktop systems, file servers or multiuser host
systems.
IMPORTANT: ECC-protected cache is available only if you use Adaptec Cache Memory
Modules or qualified ECC memory from a manufacturer listed on the Adaptec website.
•
Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers support RAID 0, 1, 5 and multilevel RAID
(0/1 and 0/5). The controllers support a maximum of 128 MB of onboard cache.
Error Correcting Code (ECC) protection for cache memory is available when
ECC memory is installed.
2
About Your New Controller
•
Cache Memory Modules provide 32 MB, 64 MB, or 128 MB of ECC-protected
SDRAM disk cache for SCSI RAID controllers.
Adaptec SCSI RAID Feature Overview
Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers include:
•
Support for I
provides drivers for most operating systems
For a list of drivers supplied by Adaptec, refer to Chapter 4, “Installing Adaptec
SCSI RAID Software.”
HP 2100S SCSI RAID Controller User Guide 2-1
2O OSMs provided by major operating system vendors; Adaptec
About Your New Controller
• Certifications for major operating systems, including Novell NetWare, Microsoft
Windows NT, and Windows 2000
•
Support for a variety of SCSI devices, including hard disk, tape, CD-Recordable,
CD-ROM, Magneto-Optical drives, jukeboxes and scanners
•
Local and remote configuration, array status, and I/O monitoring using Adaptec
Storage Manager software
•
Operating system independent configuration and RAID creation using the
Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR) utility
•
Support for SCSI-1, SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 devices with active termination
•
ASPI protocol support for third-party applications and utilities
•
Flash ROM for easy upgrades of controller firmware, I
•
Event logging
•
Predictive caching that analyzes disk read requests made by the host to determine
whether they are part of a pattern
If a pattern is detected, the controller uses the pattern to predict which data the
host is likely to request in the near future, then reads this data into the cache.
•
Intelligent hot spare that automatically replaces a failed drive with a designated
hot spare drive
When multiple hot spares are available on a controller, the intelligent hot-spare
algorithm picks the best one based on capacity and bus location. RAID 1 and
RAID 5 arrays are rebuilt automatically using the new drive.

Voltage: 5V ± 5%
•
Ripple and noise: 50 mV peak-to-peak maximum
•
2100S current (typical): 3.4A

Cache Memory
IMPORTANT: You must have a minimum of 32 MB of cache installed. If ECC protection is
required you must use ECC Cache Memory Modules or qualified memory from a manufacturer
listed on the Adaptec Web site.
Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers support up to 128 MB of cache SDRAM memory in
the controller.
If you use third-party memory in the controller, the memory must be 100 MHz
SDRAM, 168-pin DIMMs. Capacities can be 32 MB, 64 MB, or 128 MB.
Third-party ECC DIMMs must be from a qualified manufacturer.
For a list of memory types and manufacturers that have been approved by Adapted,
refer to
