Steps to configure a SAFE RAID set using USB connection (Windows XP)
1. Open the 57xx SteelVine Manager.
2. Insert the 2 CF cards to the CF slots on the AD2SAHDCF.
3. Connect the USB cable to the AD2SAHDCF. The 57xx SteelVine Manager
detects the 2 CF cards in the AD2SAHDCF.
4. Open Disk Management to check that both CF cards are detected.
*You will see an unallocated or partition depending if the CF card had been used.
Delete the partition to make it into one BIG virtual disk.
