2.  AMD Windows RAID Installation Guide 
 

AMD Windows RAID Installation Guide is an instruction for you to configure RAID functions by using RAIDXpert RAID 

management software under Windows environment. The RAIDXpert software offers local and remote management 

and monitoring of all AMD 

SB750 SATA logical drives that exist anywhere on a network. Its browser-based GUI 

provides email notification of all major events/alarms, memory cache management, drive event logging, logical drive 

maintenance, rebuild, and access to all components in the RAID configuration (server, controller, logical drives, 

physical drives, and enclosure). RAIDXpert is designed to work with AMD 

SB750 SATA RAID controllers. Other 

brands of RAID controllers are not supported. Please read this guide carefully and follow the instructions below to 

configure and manage RAID functions. 

 

RAIDXpert installation software will install two major components to your system:   

1. 

RAIDXpert RAID management software: The RAIDXpert software installs on the PC with the AMD SB7

50 SATA 

RAID Controller (the “Host PC”). 

2. 

Java Runtime Environment (in a private folder): The RAIDXpert installation program installs a private JRE in 

folder _jvm under the same directory where RAIDXpert is installed. RAIDXpert uses this private JRE to avoid 

incompatibility issues with any other JREs that may be present on your system. 

 

On the Host PC with the AMD 

SB750 Controller, where you install RAIDXpert, you must have one of the following 

browsers: Internet Explorer 6.0, Mozilla Suite 1.7, Mozilla Firefox 1.0, or Netscape Navigator 7.1. 

If you do not have one of the above browsers, install the browser first and make it the default browser. Then install 

RAIDXpert. You must use one of the browsers listed above on your networked PC in order to access RAIDXpert over 

the network. 

Follow these steps to install RAIDXpert on your Windows-based PC or Server. 

1. 

  Boot the PC or server, launch Windows, and log in as the Administrator. If the computer is already running, exit   

all programs. If you are not logged in as the Administrator, log out, then log in again as the Administrator. 

2.   

Insert the software CD into your CD-ROM drive. 

3.   

Double-click the Install CD’s icon to open it. 

4.   

Double-click the Installer icon to launch it (right). The first RAIDXpert installation dialog box appears. 

5.   

Follow the prompts in the installation dialog boxes. 

6. 

When the first installation screen appears, choose an installer language from the dropdown menu.
