Getting Started with Your

3ware RAID Controller

Setting up your 3ware RAID controller involves these main steps:

• Physically Install the RAID Controller and Drives

• Configure a RAID Unit

• Install the Driver and Make the Operating System Aware of the New

Drives

• Set Up Management and Maintenance Features

Once the controller and drives have been physically installed, the order in

which you perform these steps depends in part on whether one of the units

you configure will act as your boot drive.

Tip: When you are first setting up your system, you may want to review

“System Requirements” on page 2.

Physically Install the RAID Controller and Drives

To install your controller, follow the instructions in the installation guide that

came with your 3ware controller. If you do not have a hardcopy of the

installation manual, it is available in the “doc” folder on your 3ware CD, or

you can download it from the 3ware website at http://www.3ware.com/

support/userdocs.asp.

For drive installation, see the instructions that came with your enclosure. If

you are installing drives in a computer case, follow the manufacturer’s

instructions.

Configure a RAID Unit

If you would like more information about what RAID level to choose for your

situation, review the information under “Understanding RAID Concepts and

Levels” on page 5 . Then turn to “Configuring a New Unit” on page 101.

If you want to install the operating system on and boot from a drive managed

through the new 3ware RAID controller, use the 3ware BIOS Manager (3BM)

to define the configuration. You will find step-by-step instructions for initial
