Setup of disk array (RAID)
When an IDE RAID or RAID controller is additionally installed 
in the system after purchase, or if it is built in the server before 
delivery, it is required to set the disk array (RAID). 
When “Simple setup” is selected from the “Selection of RAID 
configuration” during execution of the “Setup” of the Toshiba 
Server Setup Tool, the RAID controller utilities have no need of 
operation because the RAID is configured by minimum setting in 
this case. When “Detailed setup” or “No setup” is selected, or the 
RAID is to be configured without use of the Toshiba Server Setup 
Tool, it is required to set up the RAID. 
See “MegaRAID Software Guide.” or “MegaRAID IDE Setup”
If the operating system (OS) is installed in the server in which a 
RAID controller or IDE RAID is built in, be sure to install a Power 
Console Plus and Service for RAID controller or MegaRAID con-
figuration Console for IDE RAID, that is a RAID monitor and 
control utility after installation of the OS (for Windows NT or 
Windows 2000). 
NOTE: When installing Windows NT or Windows 2000 using 
the Toshiba Server Setup Tool, the Power Console Plus and 
Service or MegaRAID configuration Console can be automat-
ically installed after installation of the operating system. 
For installation with the Toshiba Server Setup Tool:
See “Toshiba Server Setup Tool User’s Guide” (on the Docu-
mentation CD-ROM).
