-1130SA RAID Option card provides powerful

disk array support in servers that have an available PCI/RAIDport I
or II expansion slot on the system motherboard.

This Installation and Hardware Guide explains how to install the
ARO-1130SA, run the Array1000xA BIOS & Driver Selection Utility,
create the first array, and then install the supporting software. The
Adaptec CI/O Management Software User’s Guide, which is included
with the ARO-1130SA, explains how to use the software to create
and manage additional arrays.
