HW RAID Manager Utility Program:

1. 

For Windows users, install the JMicron HW RAID Manager located on the  

 

SATA Controller CD. In the CD, go to Configuration Utilities > JMB393. This  

 

manager can be use to create and monitor the status of the RAID volume.

 

It is recommended to use the default factory RAID DIP switch setting when  

 

using the JMicron HW RAID Manager.

Recommended to be used on operating system without JMicron HW RAID  

 

Manager support like Linux, Mac & Solaris. Windows users can also use the
