5-44 Installing the Operating System with Express SetupNotesThe following explains general notes on HostRAID: Only a hard disk drive can be connected to a channel with which HostRAID is enabledthrough SCSI BIOS. To connect a device other than a hard disk drive, disable HostRAID and use it as thestandard SCSI. If you replace a hard disk drive being used with HostRAID, let 60 seconds or more passafter removing the hard disk drive, and then install a new hard disk drive. If the interval is too short, an unexpected event may occur. (You should install a new harddisk drive after confirming the removal of the old hard disk drive on the ASMBEwindow.) After rebuilding by using hot spare, do the rebuilding again to make the installationpositions of hard disks and the configuration of an array using the disks same as thosebefore the configuration of the array. Without the operation, the boot priority may bechanged. The priority can be changed by the SCSISelect Utility. The timeout message below may be recorded into the event log if I/O operation is delayedwhile HostRAID is running with a high load applied. However, HostRAID internalprocessing retries the I/O processing, and the delay does not influence AP and systemoperations.Event source: a320raid.sysEvent ID: 9Description: The device \Device\Scsi\a320raid* did not respond within timeout period.(*: Arbitrary) When Hot Spare Rebuild is performed, please perform Rebuild again to become theoriginal hard disk mounting position and the same position. If this work is not done, aboot priority may change. A boot priority can be changed in BIOS. Only use the HostRAID drive as a system drive. Only a hard disk drive can be connected to a channel with which HostRAID is enabledthrough the BIOS setup utility. To connect a device other than a hard disk drive, disable HostRAID and use it as thestandard SATA. If you replace a hard disk drive being used with HostRAID, please replace the hard diskdrive after power-off of the system. Be sure to check the PORT number of the hard diskdrive to be replaced in ASMBE in advance.
