RAID Utility User’s Guide

This guide shows you how to set up RAID volumes using the
RAID Utility application on a computer with a Mac Pro RAID
Card or Xserve RAID Card.

With a Mac Pro RAID Card or Xserve RAID Card installed in your computer, you can use
RAID Utility to turn your computer’s internal disks into storage volumes based on RAID
(redundant array of independent disks) schemes that improve performance and
protect your data.

Installing the RAID Software

If you purchased your computer with a RAID card installed, the RAID software is already
installed on your startup disk and RAID Utility is in /Applications/Utilities/. RAID Utility
is also available from the Utilities menu when you start up your computer using the
Mac OS X installation disc that comes with the computer.
