 * Note: The Mylex Raid Controller is only supported in VINES 5.53(0) and above. The Hard Drives used were Seagate models ST31200N 1GB, and ST12400N 2GB the functionality of each RAID level  0 - 7 was tested to verify the controllers ability to handle all aspects of VINES software in accordance with the VINES file systems. The Mylex Controller was used as a disk controller only. When Configured with the Mylex Controller as primary the on-board AHA 7770 ROM setting was disabled.

D.	Disk Drive Configuration 

The System was certified with four Seagate drives: ST-3610N 500MB HD, ST-3620N 545MB HD, ST-31200N 1GB, and ST-12400N 2GB.  

Format Procedure: 	The Hard Disk Drive is factory formatted and ready to load Vines.  The 	
			Hard Disk can be low level formatted through the ECU.

 System - Z-Server System Board

 Jumper Name:  FLASH - E0191

  Move this jumper to the recovery position (pins 2 to 3) to enable the
  system recovery BIOS. The recovery BIOS must be used with the FLASH
  Update Utility to restore a corrupted system BIOS. During normal
  operation, this jumper must be in the BOOT position (pins 1 to 2).

 Jumper Name:  VGA - E0290

  Move this jumper to the off position (pins 2 to 3) to disable the
  onboard video controller. When an external video controller is
  present, the onboard controller should be disabled. Leave this jumper
  in the ON position (pins 1 to 2) to enable the onboard video
  controller.

  Jumper Name:  NVRAM - E0292

  Move this jumper to the CLR position (pins 2 to 3) to clear the
  present contents of EISA NVRAM and ISA CMOS. System defaults will be
  installed. During normal operation, the jumper should be in the normal
  position (pins 1 to 2).

 Jumper Name:  PASSWORD - E0390

  Move jumper to the on position (pins 1 to 2) to enable use of the
  power-on password. The OFF position (pins 2 to 3) clears the system
  password. The on position enables use of the power-on password.

 Jumper Name:  FLASH - E0721

  Move this jumper to the enabled position  (pins 1 to 2) to allow the
  user to update FLASH memory with new BIOS or configuration
  information. This jumper must be in this position for the ECU to save
  the defined configuration or for ROM based setup to update the user
  definable hard disk types. Place this jumper in the F-P position (pins
  2 to 3) to prevent FLASH updates and configuration changes.

 Jumper Name:  Floppy - E0291

  Move this jumper to the write protected position (pins 2 to 3) to
  prevent writes to the floppy drive. This jumper should be in the R/W
  position (pins 1 to 2) when writes to the floppy drive are to be  allowed.
