MODE SETUP AND ARRAY MANAGEMENT
SOFTWARE MODE-SETUP METHOD (PC Users)
There are two primary ways to setup your
CADA-U3E4
: the software method and the switch
method
. The software method is by-far the easiest. The switch method, at this point in time, is a
method that can be used by MAC users and a feature for IT users who are setting up arrays on-the-fly.
But for the PC-based customers, we recommend the software method which utilizes the BackupQ application.
