Microsoft DSE4XM2, DSE4XM1 manual Adding a File System to the ioDrive

Note: The system manufacturer assigns bus numbers, which can range from 0 on up. These numbers may or may not reflect the physical location of the bus. For example, the second slot from the edge of the motherboard may be Bus 2, but it could also be Bus 16 or another arbitrary number. Checking Device Manager is one way to confirm the specific bus number for your installation. You can also use ioManager to view this number.)

3.1.6 Adding a File System to the ioDrive

With the ioDrive and driver installed, you can now use the Windows Disk Management utility to make your device available to applications. Typically, Windows will detect the new device, initialize it and display it in Disk Management. You can then add partitions, format a volume, or create a RAID configuration on your ioDrive using the standard Windows procedures (see the Windows Disk Management Utility documentation for more details)

If Windows does not, you may need to initialize it manually. To initialize an ioDrive:

1.Select Start > Control Panel.

2.Click Administrative Tools.

3.Click Computer Management.

4.Click Disk Management in the Storage section of the console tree.
