GDTSETUP loaded from the ICP Controller's Flash-RAM after switching on the computer
GDTSETUP loaded from disk under MS-DOS.
The header of the GDTSETUP program indicates with a letter after the version number,
whether GDTSETUP was loaded from disk or from Flash-RAM:
" R " for GDTSETUP loaded from the Flash-RAM after switching on the computer
" D " for GDTSETUP loaded from Disk, i.e., under MS-DOS.
Loading GDTSETUP with <CTRL><G> from the Flash-RAM is very comfortable since no
operating system is required to carry out the configuration and setup works.
On the other side, loading GDTSETUP from disk (i.e., under MS-DOS) becomes necessary
for tasks like partitioning or enabling a totally disabled GDT BIOS (which includes
GDTSETUP).

This function allows the easy setup of Array Drives and does not require any previous
knowledge. If you choose this function, GDTSETUP carries out the complete installation
entirely on its own, giving you, for example, a fully operational RAID 5 Array Drive with opti-
mized settings (for instance, with all SCSI features of a given hard disk activated).
