Using the Adaptec Storage Manager in bootable-CD mode

The Adaptec Storage Manager program operates in two ways:

When you run the Adaptec Storage Manager program from the startable   Adaptec RAID Installation CD, you are using bootable-CD mode. bootable-CD mode enables you to configure your controller before you install your operating system. After you have configured the controller and installed the operating system, you also can use bootable-CD mode to fine-tune specific controller settings.

To run the Adaptec Storage Manager program in bootable-CD mode, turn on the %SERVER%; then, insert the  Adaptec RAID Installation CD (or the CD that contains the Adaptec Storage Manager program that came with your %SERVER%) into the CD-ROM drive.

If the Adaptec Storage Manager program detects unconfigured controllers and ready drives, the program automatically starts the Configuration wizard.

These are the actions that are available in bootable-CD mode only:
