How do I setup and configure IBM PC Server 325 and ServeRAID?

[rajrei]

Pc Server 325 Type 8639 RSO.
I am not sure that hard drive size it supports and what do i need to make it run. Help.... I don't know where to start.

Start by downloading the ServeRAID Support CD, then flash the controller to the current firmware. When complete, use the CD (ServeRAID Manager) to configure an array, then a logical drive - the Operating System will see the Logical Drive as a physical disk. Next, install the Operating System, specifying the ServeRAID Driver (you can make a driver diskette from the CD).

Thanks for the URL, but I think this will only work if I already have Windows installed...?

What should I use if my configuration is lost and I need to boot from DOS to create an Array?

I tried the ServeRAID Manager 6.11 CD image, but this doesn't find the correct video card and then resets...?!

Thanks again for your help!

You are going to need to use the 3.50C diskette at the bottom of the link.

See this document for assistance in setting up raid.
