HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Step 10. Install the controller driver

For a new system:

• Driver installation usually takes places as part of operating sys-

tem installation. Please reference the Chapter 4 Diver Installation

for the detail installation procedure.

In an existing system:

• Install the controller driver into the existing operating system.

Please reference the Chapter 4, Driver Installation, for the detailed

installation procedure.

Note:

Look for newest release versions of drivers please download

Step 11. Install ArcHttp proxy Server

The SATA RAID controller rmware has embedded the web-browser

RAID manager. ArcHttp proxy driver will enable it. The browser-

based RAID manager provides all of the creation, management,

and monitor SATA RAID controller status. Please refer to the

Chapter 5 for the detail ArcHttp proxy server installation. For SNMP

agent function, please refer to Appendix C.

Step 12. Determining the Boot sequences

The SATA RAID controller is a bootable controller. If your system

already contains a bootable device with an installed operating sys-

tem, you can set up your system to boot a second operating sys-

tem from the new controller. To add a second bootable controller,

you may need to enter setup and change the device boot sequence

so that the SATA RAID controller heads the list. If the system BIOS

setup does not allow this change, your system may not be con-

gurable to allow the SATA RAID controller to act as a second boot

device.
