ACU is a browser-based utility with the following features:
• Runs as a local application or remote service
• Supports online array capacity expansion, logical drive extension,
assignment of online spares, and RAID or stripe size migration
• Suggests the optimum configuration for an unconfigured system
• Provides different operating modes, enabling faster configuration or greater
control over the configuration options

The minimum display settings for optimum performance are 800 × 600
resolution and 256 colors. The server must have Microsoft® Internet

Windows® 2000, Windows® Server 2003, or Linux. Refer to the README.TXT
file for further information about browser and Linux support.

Before installing an operating system, you can use the ORCA utility to create the
first logical drive, assign RAID levels, and establish online spare configurations.
The utility provides support for the following functions:
• Configuring one or more logical drives using physical drives on one or more
SCSI buses
• Viewing the current logical drive configuration
• Deleting a logical drive configuration
If you do not use the utility, ORCA will default to the standard configuration.
