prevents possible mistakes in driver installation, such as installation of an older version or drivers which

■ Automatic RAID Configuration

When a disk array is configured using the onboard SCSI array controller, specify the RAID type and the

number of hard disk units before starting installation. A disk array can be configured without starting the

RAID utility.
