2. Installation Instructions

- The Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 1420SA Controller Installation

and User's Guide contains complete installation information for

the controllers and drivers, as well as complete instructions

for all utilities and Adaptec Storage Manager software.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

3. General Cautions

- While an array is being built or cleared, DO NOT remove and

reinsert any drive from that array. Doing so may cause

unpredictable results for any of the controller's arrays.

- While a drive is being cleared, DO NOT try to include it in a

new array. Doing so may cause unpredictable results.

- DO NOT move drives containing an array or volume from one

controller to another while the power is on. Doing so could

cause the loss of the array configuration or data, or both.

Instead, power off both affected controllers, move the drives,

and then restart.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Known Limitations

4.1 Changing a RAID configuration

If a RAID configuration is changed, such a member of

RAID 1 is removed during hibernation or standby modes,

the results can be unpredictable from the stand point of

the state of RAID subystem.

4.2 RAID Rebuilds

If a RAID is rebuilding, do not remove the source of

the rebuild, or the RAID will become offline. If you

try to re-insert the source of the rebuild, the

operation will have un-predictable results.

4.3 Forward metadata compliance support

Forward metadata compliance is supported for RAID 0 and 1

only (not for simple volumes) from HostRAID to ARC but not

from ARC to HostRAID. This is provided that the correct

device drivers are installed for ARC.

4.4 RHEL 3.0 Limitation with Adaptec Storage Manager

For RHEL 3.0, OOB, 32-bit Athlon and Intel systems, you must

install "Legacy Software Development" package for

Adaptec Storage Manager to work properly.

4.5 Four Drive RAID 0

It is strongly advised to create a four drive R0

(bootable or non bootable) throug the BIOS instead of through

Adaptec Storage Manager or Boot CD.
