Using a Pre-loaded SCSI Drive "As-is"
NOTE To use a pre-loaded drive in the manner described here, you must make it the first
logical drive defined (for example: LD1) on the adapter to which it is connected.
You may have a SCSI disk drive that is already loaded with software. The drive may be a boot disk
containing an operating system. You can use the adapter as a SCSI adapter for such a drive by
performing the following steps:
1. Connect the SCSI drive to one of the channels on the HP NetRAID or HP NetRAID-1
adapter, with proper termination and Target ID (TID) settings.
2. Boot the NetServer and start HP NetRAID Express Tools by pressing Ctrl M.
3. Choose Easy Configuration from the Configure menu.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the pre-loaded drive.
5. Press the spacebar. The pre-loaded drive should now become an array element.
6. Press Enter. You have now declared the pre-loaded drive as a one-disk array. Display the
logical drive configuration screen.
7. Set the Read Policy and Cache option on the Advanced menu.
8. Exit the Advanced menu. Highlight Accept and press Enter.
9. Press Esc and choose Yes at the Save prompt.
10. Exit BIOS setup and reboot.
11. Set the host system to boot from SCSI, if such a setting is available.
