NVRAM Reset

Adaptec RAID controllers retain their setup parameters even when

powered off. These parameters are stored on the controller in an area

of nonvolatile memory (NVRAM). There is a possibility that,

through improper configuration, the controller can be put into a

state where it hangs the system during start. If this happens, the

parameters stored in the NVRAM can be restored to their default

settings by following these steps:

Note: The 2000S and 2005S controllers do not have an

NVRAM reset jumper. Use SMOR’s Default command or

RAIDUtil’s -X command to reset the NVRAM.

1 Power off the system.

2 Install a jumper on the NVRAM reset jumper connector. Refer

to Appendix A for the location of the jumper connector.

3 Power on the system and wait until the LEDs 3, 5, 7, and 8 on

the controller begin flashing.

4 Power off the system and remove the jumper.

5 Restart the system. If the system restarts normally, the

controller can now be configured using SMOR or Storage

Manager.

If the system fails to start, refer to Appendix C for additional

information.

Flash Mode 0

The Adaptec controller firmware, BIOS, and SMOR are all

upgradable. There is a possibility that an unsuccessful upgrade

could render the controller inoperable. If this happens, you need to

reset the controller firmware, BIOS, and SMOR. First, create a SMOR

start disk as follows:

1 If your system hangs with the Adaptec controller installed,

remove the controller from your system. Otherwise, leave the

controller installed and proceed to the next step.
