NOTE
To monitor the server(s) remotely using StorCon, load MON4SOCK.DLL in the same directory as
StorCon. This DLL supports SPX/IPX and TCP/IP network protocols (for NetBIOS you can load
instead MON4NETB.DLL).
The StorCon Program
The structure of the Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 firmware has four different levels of hierarchy.
Level 1 where the Physical Devices are found, level 2 containing the Logical Drives (made up of
one or several physical drives), level 3, the Array Drives, and finally, level 4, the Host Drives.
Only host drives are known to the operating system. Using the drives of the next lower level as
components always sets up the drive of a given level of hierarchy.

Level 1 where the Physical Devices are found, level 2 containing the logical drives (made up of one

drives are known to the operating system. Accordingly, StorCon has various menu options, each
referring to a level of hierarchy.
Host Drives Level 4
Arrays Drives Level 3
Logical Drives Level 2
Physical Devices Level 1
Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 can simultaneously control most types of host drives. For example,
a given system’s drive C is a host drive (consisting of a single hard drive), drive D is a type RAID 5
array drive, drive E is a Chain host drive, and drive F is a CD-ROM which communicates with the
OS through corelSCSI and the ASPI manager.
