I have a Dell 39320 (Adaptec) scis card that I want to use with only
one disk (Cheetah 320 10K), but I am unable to disable the HostRaid
function. After searching the net for a while, I have found that this
is not possible with this card, since that function has been removed
from the Dell OEM. There is a description on how to do this here, by
flashing the BIOS back to a vanilla Adaptec. Its in german:
http://www.administrator.de/Adaptec_39320A-R_von_Dell_Bios_auf_Adaptec_Bios_flashen%3F.html
but it requires a default Adaptec 39320 SEEPROM.

I have been unable to find this SEEPROM file online. Does anyone have
such a SEEPROM file handy?

Any other suggestions on how to make one disk work on this Dell would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Well, I got it working. I contacted the guy who wrote the german post,
and he gave me the files needed to flash the card to a standard
Adaptec, without the crappy Dell BIOS, so I am no longer in need of
assistance! :D

Thanks!

Hello,

I am afraid I have the same problem with an Adaptec 39320 card on a DELL Poweredge SC1425 server. Could you please tell me the BIOS version that offers the option to disable the Host RAID feature? Is it possible that you send me a copy of the file?

Thanks,
Rafael
