AM-445 RAID SUBSYSTEM INSTALLATION

The AM-445 RAID subsystem protects your data by using redundant disks that rebuild the data

if a disk fault occurs. For detailed information on your RAID subsystem, see the manufacturer’s

documentation that came with the subsystem. That document will tell you how to use the RAID

subsystem keypad to configure the subsystem.

This document discusses installing a RAID subsystem onto an Alpha Microsystems AMOS or

Series 90 computer.

PREREQUISITES

Series 90 computers must be using an Adaptec SCSI adapter model AHA-1542X or

AHA-1742A (Alpha Microsystems part number PFB-00231-00 or PFB-00249-00), and

an operating system that supports the use of that adapter.

AMOS computers must contain an external SCSI-2 port. If your computer does not

provide SCSI-2 support, contact your VAR concerning upgrading your computer to

SCSI-2 compatibility with a Roadrunner processor, AM-540 SCSI interface, or AM-4000

upgrade.

IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THE RAID SUBSYSTEM ALONG WITH A HARDWARE UPGRADE

If you are installing the RAID disk array subsystem along with additional hardware

upgrades (for example, a new CPU board), install the other components before

connecting the RAID subsystem, and make sure your computer system works correctly

with the additional hardware and software. Then turn to "If You Are Adding the RAID

Subsystem to an Existing Computer System," below.

IF THE RAID SUBSYSTEM IS PART OF A COMPLETE COMPUTER SYSTEM

If you have ordered the RAID subsystem as part of a complete computer system, it will

be integrated with the computer system for you by Alpha Microsystems. In this case,

you need only be concerned with final setup. See "Final Installation," below, for details.

IF YOU ARE ADDING THE RAID SUBSYSTEM TO AN EXISTING COMPUTER SYSTEM

Here are the steps you must follow to add a RAID subsystem to an existing computer

system.
