Storage Manager on ROM

Overview

Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR) is a BIOS-based setup utility that

enables you to configure your Adaptec RAID controller without

loading an operating system and using Storage Manager. You can

also use SMOR to perform basic array configuration. SMOR makes

the initial setup of your RAID controller and RAID storage easier

and faster.

To configure your hardware and create disk arrays when Storage

Manager is not available, run SMOR during system startup. This is

especially useful for a new system where you need to create disk

arrays before you install the operating system.

After your storage subsystem is configured, install your operating

system according to the appropriate procedure in the Adaptec RAID

Installation Guide for your controller. For access to all of the

advanced features of your controller, install the version of Storage

Manager specific to your operating system.

To run SMOR and configure a new system, follow these steps:

1 Press Ctrl+A when the Adaptec RAID controller BIOS message

appears during boot to start SMOR.

2 Inspect the hardware configuration as shown by SMOR.

a Verify that all peripheral devices and controllers are shown.

If any devices are missing from the display, exit SMOR and

check your hardware connections.

b View the Information window for each controller to verify

that all installed expansion and memory modules are shown

(see the Attached Modules section of the figure on page 2-6.

Note: 3400S only: SMOR reports a 3400S as a 3200S having an

attached module for the extra two channels. This is because

the 3400S is a 3200S with an additional factory-installed two

channel daughter card giving it its four channel capacity

Note the IRQ and address displayed in the Configuration

window (see page 2-10). The IRQ and address values may

be required during installation of your operating system.
