Introduction
The Adaptec RAID Installation CD is a bootable disc, which means
you can use it to start up a computer that has no operating system
and configure a RAID, provided your computer recognizes
bootable CDs.
Note:
If your computer is not set for bootable CD support,
change the system BIOS so that the CD drive is used as a
boot device.
If your computer has no operating system, the Adaptec RAID
Installation CD uses a Linux kernel to boot your computer, display a
user interface, and provide access to the following options:
■
Create driver disk(s)... —Enables you to create a driver disk for
any supported operating system.
■
Launch RAID configuration utility... —Starts Storage
Manager, which enables you to configure your RAID and build
disk arrays.
■
View documentation... —Displays a list of the available
product documents and the
READ.ME
file with the latest release
notes. Select a document name and click OK to view the
information.
■
Start a command shell (for UNIX or Linux users) —Starts a
Linux command shell. This lets you mount an additional
device or enter other system commands that might be required
during the installation.
■
Reboot —Restarts the computer system. If you do not want the
system to boot from the CD, remove the disc as soon as the
system begins to restart.
If your computer is booted to an operating system and you insert the
Adaptec RAID Installation CD in the drive, your computer
automatically reads the CD if it is set up to do so. If your computer
does not automatically read the CD, you can prompt it to read the CD
by clicking on autorun.exe, which presents the following options:
