Your controller may not support all of the features described. In most cases if a feature is not supported by your controller the feature does not appear in the interface.

With Adaptec Storage Manager, you can:

Locally manage a system containing a supported Adaptec RAID controller that has Windows or Linux and a supported browser.

Remotely manage any system containing a supported Adaptec RAID control-

ler that has Managed System Components (see Typical, Custom, and Com- pact Installations). You can manage a system remotely from a system that does not contain a RAID controller.

These same Windows and Linux systems can also be managed remotely by either of these methods:

Installing Adaptec Storage Manager on the remote system.

Directing the browser on the remote system to the system you want to manage.

To manage an array remotely from a Linux system, install Adaptec Stor- age Manager on the system and use the Adaptec-supplied version of Mozilla as the browser.
