To install the RAID software, locate the setup.exe file located on the floppy diskette

labeled “DISK 1” (or the Disk1 folder, if the software was downloaded).

Double click this file to start the Installation Wizard.

Note: If the system chassis supports SAF-TE, make sure to select the corresponding

chassis-type/manufacturer when prompted.

There is no need to restart the system after installing the software. To start the

software, click on the “Start” button, select “Programs”, and click on the “HPT

Management Console.”

Logging On

The RAID Management Console requires that a user (or Administrator) log on.

The software is incapable of working with RAID arrays or hard disks attached to the

RocketRAID 2240 until the user has logged on.
