If you have a new drive configuration without an operating system 

and want to install operating system on a disk drive managed by the 

SATA RAID Controller. The driver installation is a part of the operat-

ing system installation.

The computer has an existing operating system installed and the 

SATA RAID controller is being installed as a secondary controller.

Have all required system hardware and software components on 

hand before proceeding with the setup and installation.

Materials required:

• Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003, Linux, FreeBSD or more installa-  

  tion

The CD-ROM disc shipped with the SATA RAID controller is a self-

booting CD. In order to created driver diskettes for Windows, 

Linux, FreeBSD or more installation drivers, your system is re-

quired to support booting from the CD-ROM.    

If you do not have the CD-ROM disc with the package, contact your 

local dealer or you can also download the latest version drivers for 

Windows 2000/XP/2003, Linux, freeBSD and more from the ARECA
