Functions for RAID system management

The preinstalled software of the RAID system offers enhanced functions for using and managing the RAID system.

SATA-RAID software is started via "Start > Programs > Promise Array Management > Local PAM".

Access to the RAID is protected by user and password. Factory setting:

•User: Administrator

•Password: empty

Notice

The security functions of the RAID system are effective without launching the software. The RAID status is always indicated in the Windows status bar. In the event of an error, a hard disk can be duplicated by means of the RAID Controller BIOS or on the operating system level. It may take up to several hours to synchronize a new disk in the background, depending on the size of the hard disk and on the system load.

The redundant system state RAID Level 1 is reached again only after synchronization is completed.
