Configuration of the server
This section contains information about configuring the server and installing the
operating system.
Make sure that the energy saving functions are disabled in the BIOS-Setup
during server operation.
SCSI RAID controller configuration
The server is equipped with an onboard SCSI controller with „Integrated
Mirroring“ functionality. You may configure the SCSI RAID controller either
before running ServerStart or with ServerStart. It is recommended to use
ServerStart.
Configuring the SCSI RAID controller is either performed via the BIOS configu-
ration utility (calling CTRL-C during BIOS POST) or with the ServerStart CD
using GAM (Global Array Management). You will find further information in the
controller documentation on the ServerBooks CD in section „controllers“.
SCSI-ID information:
Please note that the SCSI IDs for the hard disk modules are predefined
(see page 02-TX150S2-63).
Activating the hard disk write cache
By default, the hard disk write cache is disabled (off). This presetting may be
changed. Consequently, not every data modification in main memory is written
to disk immediately, thus boosting system performance during write operations.
When a power failure occurs with enabled write cache, data may be
lost!
The hard disk write cache should always be configured in the same way
for all disk drives.
Ê While the server is booting (POST), press CTRL-M
Ê Select Objects
Ê Select Physical Drive
Ê Select PORT #0
