Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs (for Serial ATA RAID)

Use the Array Configuration Utility within the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs to add RAID levels 0 and 1 functionality to the integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller. This utility is a part of the BIOS code in your server. For additional information about using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs, see the documentation on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD. If this CD did not come with your server, you can download the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD from the IBM Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

The integrated Serial ATA RAID feature (SATA HostRAID) comes disabled by default. You must enable the SATA RAID feature and install the device drivers before you can use it. The SATA RAID feature configuration utilities, device drivers, and information are available on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD.
