SAS RAID configuration support
SAS RAID in the Altos G330 system requires the installation of the optional Adaptec 44300 SAS controller board. Contact your local Acer representative for information on how to purchase this item.
Caution: Creating a RAID volume erases all data previously saved in the hard drives. Make sure that you back up important files before starting a RAID configuration process.
Note: For OS installation procedures, refer to the user documentation that came with your OS pack.
