Controller Start-up

775013 4-7

Operating System

If an operating system is not already installed on the system, it can be

installed on a system disk on the controller. The operating system is installed

along with the operating system device drivers.

Operating System Device Drivers

Device drivers that are compatible with the controller can be found in the

Software Kit. For details on how to install and load drivers, refer to the

DAC960 Software Kit Installation Guide and User Manual (P/N 771929).

Global Array Manager (GAM)

The controller can be configured using GAM. GAM can also be used from

the server or a system client to monitor status and verify data integrity of

disks connected to the controller while the system and disks are running.

For details on how to install and run GAM, refer to the Global Array

Manager Client Software Installation Guide and User Manual

(P/N 771961). This manual can be downloaded at no cost from the Mylex

web site (www.mylex.com).

In Case of Problems

If problems are encountered during start-up, check the following:

• Check SCSI cabling for loose connections, pin mismatches (make sure

pin 1 on the cable matches pin 1 on the connector), bent pins, and

damaged or crossed cables.

• Check cable length. This includes internal bus lengths in enclosures.

• Check termination.

• Check SCSI IDs on all drives.
