Cautions and Warnings
WARNINGS
This guide is for qualified technical personnel with experience
installing and configuring PCI adapter cards.
Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide
and the documentation supplied with this product.
CAUTION
Take precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage before
handling the Intel Server RAID Controller U2-1 Adapter Card.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage adapter card components.

Setup
Hardware Requirements
• Server with CD-ROM Drive not attached to Intel Server RAID
Controller U2-1
• One available PCI slot (33MHz recommended)
• Monitor display r esolution of 800 x 600 or higher
• Intel Server RAID Controller U2-1 Adapter Card
• PCI 2.2 Compliant B IOS
Installing Intel Server RAID Controller U2-1 into a System
The Intel Server RAID Controller U2-1 comes with the Intel Integrated RAID
firmware already programed into the flach memory. All that is necessary before
installing the SRCU21 adapter into the Intel server board is to install an
approved SDRAM ECC DIMM into t he memory socket. Install an appropreate
DIMM into the memory socket as indicated in the diagram on the previ ous page.
Please refer to the approved memory list at:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/srcu21.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARDS may be present inside the unit in which this card
is being installed. Disconnect all power cords to the unit before
removal of any covers.
Follow the warnings noted in your computers user or service manual
before installing this board. ONLY after all the covers are reinstalled
should you reattach the power cords and power up the unit for the
software installation and use.
1 Power down the system, disconnect power cord(s) and remove the system
cover.
2 Install the SRCU21 into an available PCI slot. Connect one end of the
SCSI cable to the internal (68 pin) or external (VHDCI) SCS I connector on
the SRCU21. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCS I drives
or drive enclosure.
3 Replace the system cover, reconnect power cord(s).
✏✏✏✏ NOTE
SRCU21 will work in a 66MHz slot, however, a 33MHz PCI slot is
recommended. Consult the system guide for the target server board to
determine an appropriate 33MHz PCI slot.

✏✏✏✏ NOTE
Ensure that the end of the SCSI bus is properly terminated. Consult the
documentation for the drives or drive enclosure for termination details.
Intel Integ rated RA ID Soft ware Se tup and
Installation
This section details installation of supported operating systems to a RAID
volume controlled by the SRCU21. Operating systems can also be installed to a
pass-through drive (drive attached to S RCU21, but controll ed directly by the
host) or to a drive connected to a different c ontroller. For operating system
installation instruct ions on pass-through drives and drives attached to another
controller, refer to the Intel Server RAID Controller U2- 1 User's Manual.
Create a RAID Volume for the Operatin g System
A volume (or logical drive) must be set up prior to installing an operating
system. The volume created in this step will host the appropriate operating
system. Ensure that the volume's size is large enough to contain the operati ng
system. The volume may co ntain more than just the h ost operating system if
desired.
Create and configure the operating system RAID volume (boot volume) using
the RAID Configuration Utility (RCU).
1 Turn on target system with the SRCU21 installed. Dur ing system boot-up,
the message Press Ctrl C to run the RAID Configuration Utility appears
in the display. Press Ctrl-C when this message appears, to execute the
RAID Configuration Utility (RCU).
2 Follow the screen instructio ns to create and configure a RAID volume.
Ensure that the volume is designated as the boot device when creating the
volume (you can verify it is the boot vol ume after it has been created by
using the custom configuration menu option in the main menu of the RCU).
3 Reboot when finished and proceed to t he appropriate section to install the
desired operating syst em. For more information on using the RCU pl ease
refer to the Intel Server RAID Control ler U2-1 User's Manual.
✏✏✏✏ NOTE
The RCU is designed to create one volume for the host operating system,
and therefore contains only a subset of the RAID configuration features.
The RCU is limited to the creation of one RAID volume across all available
drives. When using the RCU to create a volume using fewer than all disks
attached to the SRCU21, first mark drives that will not be used in the RAID
volume as pass-through. These drives can be changed to be non-passthrough drives after the volume has been created. The Storage Console
application is the primary management tool and provides all RAID
configuration options (including creation of more that one RAID volume).
For instructions on using Storage Console, please refer to chapter 4 in the
Intel Server RAID Controller U2-1 User’s Manual
