appears, look towards the bottom of the screen. Windows will prompt you to press the F6 key if you
want to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver. Press the F6 key at this time.


2. The setup procedure will continue, and will later instruct you to press the "S" key to specify additional

adapters. Press the "S" key as instructed.


3. Next, the setup program will prompt for the insertion of the driver diskette. Please insert the driver

diskette, and then press ENTER to continue.

for the corresponding operating system, and press ENTER to continue.


1 - Installing the RAID Management Console/ Interface Overview

To install the RAID software from diskettes, 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. There is no need to restart the system after installing the software. To start the
software, double-click the (picture) icon on the desktop.

Note:
If the system chassis supports SAF-TE, make sure to select the corresponding chassis-
type/manufacturer when prompted. A unique profile is included for the X4 disk enclosure.

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 2224
until the user has logged on.
