Important Note
Using modern RAID Systems significantly increases data security and availability. Under no
circumstances does it relieve you from a careful and daily backup on tape or a similar backup
media. This is the only method to protect your valuable data against total loss (e.g.,
through fire or theft), accidental deletion, or any other destroying impacts.
Many Thanks to all my Friends
Monika & Wolfgang (the grandmasters)
AnnDee, Lois, Frank, Ken and Andreas (the Phoenix Crew)
Achim, Dieter, Günter, Hooshiar, Norbert, Otto, Ralph, Sam, Steffen, Winfried
(they are the real wizards)
Alfred (AB, "We need .... . I say we have it")
Andreas (AK, or "Kopf nur mit ö")
Michael (Mipf, "where is my CPU ?")
Jürgen (Jogo, "Hi, is Jurgen there ?")
Ruth (RA, "she had to proof-read that thing, ...)
Johannes (JS, "I want my ice with a red cap .., or Dr. Oops-Click-Click...")
Jürgen (JB, "diesbezüglich & hinsichtlich or probably")
Klaus (KLM, "..not an Airline..")
Markus (Malu, "Luuuuu...."), Uwe
All the fantastic "rest" of this incredible company.
It is not only a pleasure to work here, it is a passion.

In order to take full advantage of modern operating systems, high performance computer
systems are needed. When assessing the performance of a computer system, the aspects
speed and security of the mass-storage subsystem are gaining increasing importance. As a
result of the constantly growing acceptance of the RAID technology (Redundant Array of
Independent Disks) in these computer systems, and the identification of the RAID control-
ler as the essential part of a disk subsystem, a strong demand for suitable RAID controllers
has emerged during the past few years.
Since 1990, ICP vortex has been intensively engaged in the research and development of
RAID products for the highest performance and security requirements. Due to our products’
outstanding performance, our expertise and continuity in development, ICP Controllers are
accepted and known as top leading-edge products all over the world. ICP Controller prod-
ucts within the GDT RN Series are suitable for the most different platforms and applica-
tions. All ICP Controllers of the GDT RN Series are pure-bred hardware solutions.
All functionality required for the very complex tasks is hardware-implemented on the con-
troller. Thus, RAID is fully independent of the computer system (the host) and the operat-
ing system.
Thanks to the wide operating system support and easy-to-use installation and maintenance
utilities, setting up and using high performance and fault-tolerant mass-storage subsys-
tems for almost every purpose is child’s play.
We would like to thank you for purchasing an ICP Controller of the GDT RN Series.

In order to meet the various customer and system requirements, ICP vortex offers four 64
Bit Fibre Channel RAID Disk Array Controllers for PC-based 32 Bit and 64 Bit PCI computer
systems. The main differences between the controllers lie in the number of Fibre Channel
Interfaces and the Clustering Support .

64 Bit Hardware RAID Controllers with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 4, RAID 5 and RAID 10 Array
Drives at controller level, completely independent of the computer system and the oper-
ating system. Several Array Drives can be operated simultaneously.
Operation in 64 Bit and 32 Bit PCI slots. Full Bus Mastering. Maximum data transfer
rates: 132MB/sec in a 32 Bit PCI slot and 264MB/sec in a 64 Bit PCI slot.
"Private" (i.e, for one Array Drive) or "Pool" (i.e., for several Array Drives) Hot Fix Drives.
Online Capacity Expansion. Add one or several new disk drives to an existing Array Drive
to expand its capacity. During the Expansion all data are redundant.
Online RAID Level Migration. Online change of an Array Drive's RAID Level, e.g., from

Please read this Software License Agreement before opening the CD/disk packaging and
before starting to use the programs. Each loading of a program covered by this license
agreement, each transmission within any existing network to another computer, as well as
each copy on a mass storage system, regardless of what kind (floppy disk, hard disk, CD,
MO, etc.), represents a duplication of the program according to copyright regulations. Du-
plication is permitted only with the authorization of ICP vortex.
This authorization will be granted only on the condition that the Software License Agree-
ment stated hereafter is observed.
By opening the CD/disk packaging you expressly acknowledge the Software License
Agreement of ICP vortex.
1. You are authorized to use the software contained on the enclosed disks, CDROMs
and EPROMs/Flash-RAMs on a single computer system only. The restriction to this
one computer system also applies if the disk packaging contains a double set of soft-
ware, for example one set of 3.5" floppy disks and a CDROM. It is further valid if the
package contains several versions of software adapted to different operating systems.
A multi-utilization of the software is only permitted when a multi-user license has
been purchased. The number of further computer systems authorized for usage under
a multi-user license is evident from and limited by that license.
2. It is permitted to produce one single copy disk of the software for back-up purposes
only. Furthermore, it is permitted to copy the software onto the hard disk of one sin-
gle computer. It is not permitted to duplicate the contents of the EPROMs and/or
Flash-RAMs on the ICP Controller.
3. The permanent conferring (by sale or donation) of the software is permitted. The new
proprietor must be registered with ICP vortex and must assume all rights and obliga-
tions resulting from this Software license agreement. Each and any other kind of
transfer, especially leasing, is not permitted. Copies made by the first user for security
reasons must be destroyed upon transfer.
4. It is not allowed to change the software in its functions or its appearance (especially
trade mark, firm name and copyright reference) or to edit it in any other way. Neither
is it permitted to de-compile or disassemble the software.
5. The enclosed software has been carefully copied on floppy disks and/or CDROM(s).
However, if the floppy disks and/or CDROM(s) should prove to be faulty, ICP vortex
will exchange them within 4 weeks from the date of purchase.
6. ICP vortex makes no warranties, express or implied, including without limitation the
implied warranties of merchantability, functionality and fitness for a particular pur-
pose. In particular, ICP vortex is not liable to you for any consequential, incidental or
indirect damage arising out of the use of this product.

The ICP Controller should be installed by an authorized ICP vortex distributor. Precondition
for the safe installation is an anti-static work place (earthed mat on the table with wrist
bands connected to an earth). ICP vortex does not take any responsibility for damage aris-
ing out of improper installation. This manual contains all the information available at the
time it was written. Errors and/or incomplete information are possible. We are grateful for
any ideas or suggestions for improvement. Additional information may be found in the in-
formation file "README.TXT" on the enclosed ICP CDROM. Besides up-to-date informa-
tion, this file also contains a list of all programs on the CDROM.
The contents of the file README.TXT must be read before the ICP Controller is used
for the first time. Output is possible on printer or screen.
This User's Manual explains the installation and the operation of the ICP Controller. For
information on the use of the computer system and its operating system, please refer to
the corresponding system manuals.

Open the show box and take out the ICP Controller (leaving it in its anti-static bag), the
CDROM and this manual.
WARNING: Never take the GDT PCB (Printed Circuit Board) out of the anti-static bag
unless this is done at an anti-static work place, and the person handling the ICP Con-
troller is secured with wrist bands against electrostatic charge. If these instructions
are not observed, the CMOS components on the ICP Controller may be damaged or
destroyed.
Store the show box in a safe and dry place.

The following items are delivered with the ICP Controller:
1. ICP Controller in a sealed anti-static bag.
2. Sealed CDROM with driver and installation software.
3. This User's Manual.
$&RQWHQWVRIWKH,&3&'520
A list of the files and programs delivered with the ICP Controller can be found in the file
README.TXT on the enclosed CDROM. The contents of this file can be viewed on screen
or output on your printer. Besides these files and programs there are also disk images of all
ICP driver floppy disks, which can be used with a special image-writing program to create a
full set of disks. This can be helpful if you require for example a BTLD floppy disk for the
installation of the ICP Controller under SCO UNIX.
