Support Note for Mac Users: The RAID Master application
operates only with the Mac OS X 32-bit kernel. If your computer
automatically starts with the 64-bit kernel, you must reboot it with the
32-bit kernel in order to use the RAID Master application. To restart your
computer using the 32-bit kernel, select Restart from the Apple menu,
and hold the 3 and 2 keys during startup. Your computer will revert to
using the 64-bit kernel when you restart your computer again.
