Hardware Installation and User’s Guide13Hardware InstallationFigure 2-2. Installing the ICP RAID Controller into a Computer System2.3 Programming the Flash MemoryThe ICP RAID controller normally comes ready to be installed into the computermotherboard immediately. However, you may need to reprogram the RAID firmware thatis located in the flash memory of the ICP RAID controller.There are 2 options for programming the firmware, Firmware Update or FirmwareRecovery. See Appendix A for more information.2.4 SCSI TerminationTermination is critical when connecting SCSI devices together. Connected SCSI devicesare typically called a SCSI bus, and termination is required at the each end of the SCSIbus. Use a high-quality terminator at the end of the SCSI cable after the last device in thebus to ensure proper termination.The modular RAID on motherboard (MROMB) design lowers cost by utilizing the SCSIcontroller and connectors that are integrated into the system’s motherboard. WithMROMB, termination occurs on the host SCSI controller.RAIDIOS-ENABLED PCI
