Chapter 5: Installing the Controller and Disk Drives ● 41

2 Install a terminator (or enable termination) on the disk drive at the end of each cable, or

the end of the cable itself.

Remove any terminators (or disable termination) on disk drives between the ends of each

cable.

Install your SCSI disk drives, following the instructions in your system’s documentation.

3 If space inside your computer cabinet is limited, connect your disk drives to the SCSI cable

before installing them. (For installation instructions, refer to your computer

documentation.)

Caution:

To avoid causing unstable operation, do not attach a cable to the controller

unless the other end of the cable is attached to a least one disk drive.

Alternatively, install your disk drives, then connect them to the controller.

4 When all internal disk drives have been installed and connected, close your computer

cabinet, reattach the power cord, then continue with the following section.

Connecting External Devices

Note: If you are not connecting any external devices, see the following section, Next Steps.

(SCSI controllers only) Ensure that SCSI IDs and termination are set before completing the

connections to external disk drives or devices. See page 40.

2 Use high-quality cables to connect your controller to your external device(s), such as disk

drives or disk drive enclosures.

ICP recommends using only ICP cables. For more information or to purchase cables, visit

the ICP Web site at

www.icp-vortex.com or the Adaptec Web site at www.adaptec.com.

Next Steps

If you are installing the controller driver and an operating system onto a bootable array,

continue with Creating a Bootable Array on page 42.

If you are completing a standard installation onto an existing operating system, continue with

Installing the Driver on an Existing Operating System on page 54.

Monitoring Disk Drives with ICP Storage Manager

ICP Storage Manager allows you to monitor the status of your SAS, SATA, or SCSI disk drives.

Within ICP Storage Manager, you can select a disk drive object and a command will be sent to

the backplane (for internal disk drives) or enclosure (for external disk drives). The LED

associated with that disk drive will flash. The following table describes the LED flash states. For

more information about backplanes, see Backplane Connections on page 71. For more

information about monitoring capabilities, refer to the ICP Storage Manager Help.

Controller Device State Slot State LED Flash State

Failed Device is faulty On

Rebuilding Device is rebuilding Slow flash
