Configuring
 
the
 
controller
 
By
 
running
 
ServeRAID
 
Manager
 
in
 
Startable
 
CD
 
mode,
 
you
 
can
 
configure
 
the
 
controller
 
before
 
you
 
install
 
your
 
operating
 
system.
 
The
 
information
 
in
 
this
 
section
 
assumes
 
that
 
you
 
are
 
running
 
ServeRAID
 
Manager
 
in
 
Startable
 
CD
 
mode.

run
 
the
 
ServeRAID
 
Manager
 
program

computer;
 
then,
 
insert
 
the
 
IBM
 
ServeRAID
 
Support
 
CD
 
into
 
the
 
CD-ROM
 
drive.
 
If
 
the
 
ServeRAID
 
Manager
 
program
 
detects
 
an
 
unconfigured
 
controller
 
and
 
ready
 
drives,
 
the

configuration
 
automatically
 
configures
 
the
 
controller
 
by
 
grouping
 
the
 
first
 
two
 
physical
 
drives
 
in
 
the
 
ServeRAID
 
Manager
 
tree
 
into
 
an
 
array
 
and
 
creating
 
a
 
RAID
 
level-1
 
logical
 
drive.
 
If
 
you
 
select
 
custom
 
configuration,
 
you
 
can
 
select
 
the
 
two
 
physical
 
drives
 
that
 
you
 
want
 
to
 
group
 
into
 
an
 
array
 
and
 
create
 
a
 
hot-spare
 
drive.
