Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” contains introductory information about

the IBM ServeRAID-3H and ServeRAID-3L adapters, a content listing

for the adapter option packages, an installation overview, and

general information about RAID technology.

Chapter 2, “Installing and Cabling the Adapter,” provides information

about the standard features of the ServeRAID-3H and ServeRAID-3L

adapters, and instructions for installing and cabling the adapters.

Chapter 3, “Using the Configuration Programs,” explains how to use

the IBM ServeRAID Configuration Program and the IBM ServeRAID

Mini-Configuration Program. You can refer to the information in this

chapter when configuring one or more devices attached to a

ServeRAID adapter or controller.

Chapter 4, “Installing Device Drivers and Utility Programs,” contains

the instructions needed to install the ServeRAID device drivers and

programs provided on the IBM ServeRAID Configuration CD and

diskettes that came with the ServeRAID adapters.

Chapter 5, “Starting and Using the Utility Programs,” contains

instructions for starting and using the ServeRAID Administration and

Monitoring, IPSSEND, and IPSMON programs. You can use these
