6.2.11 Step 11: 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 SCSI 320-2 BIOS message appears:

MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Disk Array Adapter BIOS Version x.xx
date
Copyright (c) LSI Logic Corporation
Firmware Initializing... [ Scanning SCSI Device

..(etc.)..

]

The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time the
adapter scans the SCSI channel(s). When ready, the following appears:

Host Adapter-1 Firmware Version x.xx DRAM Size 16 MB
0 Logical Drives found on the Host Adapter
0 Logical Drives handled by BIOS
Press <Ctrl><M> to run MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility

The <Ctrl><M> utility prompt times out after several seconds. The
MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 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.

6.2.12 Step 12: Run the MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility

Press <Ctrl><M> to run the MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility. See
the MegaRAID Configuration Software Guide for more information.
