Re: [OT] Compaq Smart-2DH array controller

Hi Jonathan,

I know it has an Adaptec chip and that it tries to initialise at
bootup.  It then finds no drives (I think this may have something to
do with the fact I haven't attached any yet!).  Windows XP has
installed it and says its working but I have no way of configuring it
from here on.

I believe that in order to set up RAID on it some extra software is
needed...?

Cheers,

Matt

P.S

I'm new to the SCSI thing, if I install a compaq SCSI array do I have
to terminate it? If so how?
