Installing the Software on Mac Pro

recommended to install the Pegasus Utility software even if you do not plan to make any changes to
device configuration. The utility is critical for monitoring the system, troubleshoot and getting firmware
updates.
The utility is necessary if you plan to change the default RAID configuration (Pegasus R4i is shipped
with a RAID 5) or in case you ever need to swap out any of the hard disks shipped with the device.
