controller
By
running
ServeRAID
Manager
in
Startable
CD
mode,
you
can
configure
the
controller
before
you
install
your
operating
system.
The
information
in
this
section
assumes
that
you
are
running
ServeRAID
Manager
in
Startable
CD
mode.
To
run
the
ServeRAID
Manager
program
in
startable-CD
mode,
turn
on
the
server;
then,
insert
the
IBM
ServeRAID
Support
CD
into
the
CD-ROM
drive.
If
the
ServeRAID
Manager
program
detects
an
unconfigured
controller
and
ready
drives,
the
Configuration
wizard
starts.
In
the
Configuration
wizard,
you
can
select
Express
configuration
or
Custom
configuration.
Express
configuration
automatically
configures
the
controller
by
grouping
the
first
two
physical
drives
in
the
ServeRAID
Manager
tree
into
an
array
and
creating
a
RAID
level-1
logical
drive.
If
you
select
custom
configuration,
you
can
select
the
two
physical
drives
that
you
want
to
group
into
an
array
and
create
a
hot-spare
drive.
