Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide
System Requirements
The following system requirements are discussed:
■Storage requirements for drivers and software.
■Motherboard compatibility.
■ SCSI requirements.
Storage Requirements for Drivers and Software
Adaptec Storage Management software and device drivers require
approximately 5 MB of disk space. The host system should have
64 MB of memory, and a Pentium processor that is at least as fast as
200 MHz. A mouse and SVGA color monitor are also required.
These requirements are met for the 2010S and 2015S. Motherboards
designed to work with these controllers are server motherboards
having Pentium III or later processors or equivalents with ample
memory and faster than 200 MHz operating speeds.
Motherboard Compatibility
The Adaptec controller requires a motherboard BIOS that:
■ Complies with the PCI Local Bus Specification - revision 2.2.
■Supports multifunction devices where one of the devices is a
PCI bridge.
■Provides large memory-mapped address ranges.
■provides SCSI device connectivity along with at least one
motherboard based SCSI channel.
The Adaptec ZCR controllers provide advanced RAID
functionality to server motherboards incorporating on-board
Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI and Embedded RAID Logic (EMRL) or
RAIDIOS™ logic. The ASR-2010S is designed to work in one of the
supported EMRL- or RAIDIOS-enabled PCI slots. The ASR-2015S
plugs into a specially-designed SO-DIMM PCI connector, present
only on specific motherboards.
SCSI Requirements
The ASR-2010S/2015S ZCRs are designed to be used with Ultra 320
hard disk drives, they will operate, at a reduced level of

Introduction
performance, with all SCSI devices of Ultra 2 or higher. Use of SCSI
devices older than Ultra 2 is not suggested.
Kit Contents
Your Adaptec controller kit includes:
■ASR-2010S or ASR-2015S (does not include cables).
■Warranty cards.
■Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S (this book).
Adaptec ZCR Controller Features
Adaptec ZCR controllers support:
■RAID levels 0, 1, 5, multilevel 10 and 50, JBOD (Just a Bunch Of
Drives).
■Fixed cache memory with Error Correction Code (ECC).
■Predictive caching capability.
■PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 with PCI clock speeds
up to 66 MHz.
■Microsoft Windows®2000, Windows®NT, Windows®XP, and
Red Hat Linux.
■Operating system independent configuration and RAID
creation using Storage Manager On ROM (SMOR).
■Local and remote configuration, array status, and I/O
monitoring using Adaptec Storage Management software.
■Intelligent hot spares that automatically replace failed drives.
When multiple hot spares are available on a controller, the
intelligent hot spare algorithm picks the best spare based on
capacity and bus location. RAIDs are rebuilt automatically
using the spare drive.
■ ASPI protocol support for third-party applications and utilities.
■Flash ROM for easy upgrades of controller firmware, controller
BIOS, and SMOR.
■Event logging and broadcasting, including messaging for
alphanumeric pagers.
