MegaRAID Controller and Software Information
For information on the AMI MegaRAID controller installed in an InterServe 80 with internal
RAID, and for information on the MegaRAID software, refer to the InterRAID-8e
documentation delivered with the system.
On a server with an InterRAID disk array, you should install the MegaRAID Power Console
software. You should also add a shortcut to Power Console to the Windows NT Startup menu
(Start/Programs/Startup). Power Console provides valuable information about the health of
the RAID disk array, and can help you pinpoint any problems that may occur in disk array
operation. Power Console can even help predict disk array problems before they occur,
allowing you to take action before problems become critical.
Power Console installation is described in the System Setup document delivered with the
system. Power Console is described in the InterRAID documentation delivered with the
system. See Windows NT Help for information on adding a shortcut to the Start menu.
Enabling the MegaRAID Audible Alarm
On an InterServe 80 with an AMI MegaRAID disk controller, the controller’s audible alarm is
disabled by default. You can configure the InterSite Watchdog program to alert you to RAID
problems such as disk failures. If you want to enable the controller’s audible alarm, you can
do so using the MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility or Power Console. For more
information, see Watchdog Help and the InterRAID documentation delivered with the system.
