ATTENTION
As an extra precaution, Nortel recommends that a full
system backup be performed PRIOR to performing a
RAID-split. For more information on system backups, refer
to the CallPilot Manager online Help.
ATTENTION
Because the 703t has only one physical drive per
channel, the RAID splitting can be done using the
Windows MegaRAID console without risk of CallPilot
database corruption.
