You can use this CDto configure disk arrays in a host system that does not yet have anoperating system installed. The CD-ROM drive must be attached to acontroller and host system that recognizes bootable CDs. Some systemsmight require you to change the system BIOS configuration so that theCD-ROM drive is used as a boot device.When the CD is used as a boot source, an operating system is loadedand then the Adaptec SCSI RAID installation utility starts. You will beable to read the product documentation, install I 2O drivers, run StorageManager, and create disks to use for driver installation when theoperating system being installed cannot use the CD-ROM as a sourcefor the files.
