System Requirements

To work in a dual-controller environment, both controllers must

have the same:

■amount of memory installed.

■firmware version. See Upgrading the Controller Firmware on

page 3.

Installation Overview

Follow the installation process in this guide to insure that both

controllers are installed and configured correctly.

The installation process includes the following tasks:

1Verify that both the primary and secondary controllers have the

same amount of memory.

2Verify that both controllers have the latest version of firmware.

See Verifying the Firmware Version on Your Controller on page 3.

If necessary, you can download a newer version of the firmware

from www.adaptec.com.

3Remove the primary controller. Refer to the DuraStor Installation

and User’s Guide.

4Install the second controller into the Controller 1 bay. Refer to

the DuraStor Installation and User’s Guide.

Note: On the 6220SS, 7220SS, and 6200SR, the Controller 1 bay

is the left-most controller bay. On the 6320SS and 7320SS, the

Controller 1 bay is the lower controller bay.

The second controller now becomes the primary controller.

5Change the mode of the new primary controller. See Changing

the Controller’s Operating Mode on page 8.
