Step 10 Power Up

Replace the computer cover and reconnect the AC power cords. Turn power on
to the host computer. Set up the power supplies so that the SCSI devices are
powered up at the same time as or before the host computer. If the computer is
powered up before a SCSI device, the device might not be recognized.

During boot, the MegaRAID Express 500 BIOS message appears:

MegaRAID Express 500 Disk Array Adapter BIOS Version x.xx date
Copyright (c) American Megatrends, Inc.

Firmware Initializing... [ Scanning SCSI Device

...(etc.)...

]

The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time the adapter will
scan the SCSI channel. When ready, the following appears:

Host Adapter-1 Firmware Version x.xx DRAM Size 4 MB
0 Logical Drives found on the Host Adapter
0 Logical Drives handled by BIOS
Press <Ctrl><M> to run MegaRAID Express 500 BIOS Configuration Utility

The <Ctrl> <M> utility prompt times out after several seconds. The MegaRAID
Express 500 host adapter (controller) number, firmware version, and cache
DRAM size are displayed in the second portion of the BIOS message. The
numbering of the controllers follows the PCI slot scanning order used by the host
motherboard.

Step 11 Run MegaRAID BIOS Setup

Press <Ctrl> <M> to run the MegaRAID BIOS Setup utility. See the MegaRAID
Configuration Software Guide
for information about running MegaRAID BIOS
Setup.
