Setting up a disk array (RAID)

The disk array is used to:

❖ Configure MegaRAID IDE and arrays ❖ Assign RAID lev els ❖ Plan the array configuration ❖ Use the MegaRAID IDE Setup Utility

Configuring Arrays

Organize the physical disk drives in arrays after the drives are connected to the MegaRAID IDE. Each onboard IDE RAID array can consist of one to two physical drives.

Configuration Strategies

The most important factors in RAID array configuration are drive availability (fault tolerance), and drive performance.

❖ Maximizing Drive Availability

You can maximize the drive availability by increasing fault tolerance. Use RAID 1 (mirroring) to achieve this objective.

❖ Maximizing Drive Performance

You can optimize drive performance by using disk striping. Select RAID 0 (striping without parity) to configure an array for optimal performance.

Getting Started Setting up a disk array (RAID) 65

Assigning RAID Levels

Only one RAID lev e l can be assigned to each array. The drives required per RAID level are:

Selecting a RAID Level

To ensure the best performance, you should select the optimal RAID level when you create a system drive. The optimal RAID level for your disk array depends on the following factors:

❖ Number of drives in the disk array ❖ Capacity of the drives in the array ❖ Need for data redundancy ❖ Disk performance requirements

The factors you should consider when selecting a RAID level are listed below.

Installing software

Once the system is set up, install the operating system, server accessory software, and the RAID controller software.

Refer to Server Setup Tool

on page 153 in this manual and the applicable OS User’s

Manual for information.

Turning off the server

The procedure for turning off the server depends on the operating system installed on the server. Always perform either a normal or an automatic shutdown when turning off the server.

Performing a normal shutdown

To perform a normal shutdown under operating systems which do not support ACPI:

1 Shut down the operating system. F or instructions, refer to the user’ s guide that came

with your operating system.

2 Press the power switch to turn off the server. The system will immediately power-

down.

If Windows 2000 is installed and it is placed in ACPI mode, or your operating system supports ACPI, use the following procedure to perform a normal shutdown:

1 Click Start, Settings then Control Panel and choose Power Management. 2 Select Shutdown. The system will automatically shutdown and turn off.

Using the automatic shutdown function

The automatic shutdown function is usable only when the server is running on the Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating system. If the power button is pressed on another operating system, the server is immediately switched off without the preliminary

NOTE: If the pow er button was pressed and held for four seconds (f orce shutdo wn) and then the AC pow er cab le was disconnected, the server will automatically pow er on when the AC power cable is reconnected. You may change the way this functions using BIOS Setup Utility.

CAUTION: Using the power switch to shutdown causes any running application software to abort before completing the normal termination process. This could result in data loss or damage any running applications.

Getting Started Turning off the server 73

process necessary for shutdown. When the automatic shutdown software is not installed with the Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating system, the automatic shutdown operation is not executed and the server is switched off without the preliminary process when the power button is pressed.

When the automatic shutdown function is not used, be sure to execute the preliminary process required for quitting the operating system before pressing the power button.

Switch off the server by the automatic shutdown function according to the following procedure:

1 Execute the specified shut down process for each software application running on

the system. Be sure to save your data before quitting each application.

2 Press the power button to turn off the server.

Hold the power button four seconds or more. If the power button is released within four seconds, the shutdown operation is disrupted in the middle of the process and the server will not shutdown.

3 Make sure that the power indicator ( ) is amber and the server is shut down

normally. If the server does not shut down normally, execute a forced shutdown.

Hints on using the Power button

If the power button is pressed during manual system operation or shutdown operation, it may cause the server to malfunction. Follow the instructions below to insure stable operation of the system:

❖ When starting up the Windows NT, do not use the power button until the log-on dialog

“Welcome” displays on the screen following the “Selection of operating system” menu.

❖ After the shutdown operation starts, do not use the power button until “It is now safe

to turn off your computer” displays on the screen.

❖ After the “Restart” command is selected, do not use the power button. ❖ Do not continually press the power button. Wait at least 30 seconds.

NOTE: If the server is shut down using the automatic shut-down function or ACPI function before software applications are shut down with data saved, the unsaved data is deleted. An application that is shut down when the server is shut down is listed in the error log.

On a system running Windows 2000, pressing the power button alw a ys shuts do wn the computer, regardless of the Power Management settings made in the Control Panel.

Getting Started Turning off the server 74

Logon by a user without shutdown rights

Should an user without shutdown rights log on to the server, the automatic shutdown function of the power button is disabled.

To correct this situation, log on to the server as the system administrator and carry out the normal manual shutdown operation and turn off the power. The automatic shutdown function recovers once the system is restarted.

Prevent this situation by:

❖ Using the power button after log-off operation. ❖ Prohibit Guest log-ons, or let all users, including Guests, have the right to shut down

the server.

The application in operation

When an application in operation is forcedly closed using the shutdown operation with the power button, data is not saved.

Load to the system

If the server is shut down using the power button when the system is heavily loaded, the shutdown operation does not start immediately . The waiting time depends on the amount of the load on the system, so it may occasionally take 30 seconds to 1 min ute to start the shutdown operation.

Do not put any weight on the server that is pulled out of the rack. Do not apply an excessiv e load to a server pulled out of the rack because such a load may cause the rail to be damaged or the rack to be unstable.

When working on servers on the upper part of a rack, do not put a ladder directly on the rack or the server. A rail, rack and server may be damaged or unstable.

NOTE: Before sliding the server out of the rack, make certain that no cable(s) connected to the server’s back will be strained when the server is slid out.

When working on the server while it is slid out of the rack, be sure to slide the server forward until it is secured by the lock on the rail.

Be careful not to touch the eject lever or the Power button of the hard disk drive mounted in another system near the server you are working on.

Connecting Hardware Devices Memory modules 89

Memory modules

The server contains three memory module slots. Memory is expandable from 128 MB to 3 GB using registered Dual In-line Memory Modules.

You can install one SDRAM DIMM with Error-Correcting Control (ECC) in each slot. System memory is available in 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB modules.

When upgrading system memory, place the first memory module in the lowest numbered memory slot of slots 1 through 3. If the memory modules are of different capacities, place them in order of increasing capacity, installing the memory module with the smallest capacity in slot 1.

Memory slots

Memory Expansion Considerations

CAUTION: If you are unsure about removing, replacing, or expanding memory, call your authorized Toshiba Magnia service provider . Using the wrong memory module, or the wrong combination of modules could result in damage to the equipment.

WARNING: Never install or remove memory modules immediately after turning off the server. To avoid burn injuries, wait for the heat around the memory modules to dissipate. Never perform disassembly procedures that are not described in this manual.

CAUTION: Memory modules can be seriously damaged by static electricity. Wear a wrist or heel ground cable to discharge static electricity carried on your body. If such equipment is not available, touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity before working with sensitive electronic components.

Mixing dissimilar metals may cause later memory failures resulting in data corruption. Install DIMMs with gold-plated edge connectors.
