The Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility (ARC) is an embedded BIOS utility that includes an Array Configuration Utility (ACU) that allows the creation, configuration, and management of arrays. Also included are SCSISelect which supports changing SCSI device and controller settings, and Disk Utilities to low-level format or verify disk media.

Adaptec also provides a standalone utility to create, configure, and manage arrays from an MS-DOS prompt.
