Mylex DAC960 RAID

James Mehlhop — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 16:50:48 GMT

I recently purchased a PWS500au and installed VMS 7.3-2 on it. Works great, BUT I have never had a raid controller before and do not know how to add/upgrade disks on the raid controller. Is there a manual somewhere online/CD that I can read to figure out how to do this?

Thanks.

I now have to see if I can find a copy of the floppy with the RCU on it. :-(

James,

you will not need to look too far! The RA200RCU and firmware goodies are all on the firmware CDs. If you do not have one, then you can download the iso image from
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/index.html

I copied the RCU to floppy for convenience
