Set up your initial RAID configuration using the RAID Manager.

3.3Installing the RAID Manager Software

Locate the diskette, RAID 300, 400 Series for Windows NT RAID Manager, and insert it in your disk drive.

From the Program Manager, click on File and select Run from the pull-down menu.

At the Run command line, enter the name of the disk drive you inserted the disk in, followed by this command: SETUP.EXE (i.e., A:\SETUP.EXE)

Doing so will load the RAID Manager software in your system, creating the necessary direc- tories and icons. The default directory into which the software is loaded is RAID (e.g., C:\RAID).

1.Click on the RAID Manager icon to access the RAID Manager. Doing so opens the RAID Manager main window (see Figure 3–1). The main window contains five pull- down menu choices: File, View, Configuration, Settings, and Help.
