This section describes installing the driver and setting up the new array for the drives
attached to your controller. Before you get started, you need to select from the
following scenarios for installing the controller driver on W indows or Linux systems:

product driver CD.
2. Restart the computer.
3. If creating an array, press Ctrl-A when prompted to enter the ARC utility.
For instructions on creating an array from the BIOS, see Adaptec RAID
Configuration Utility . For a simple volume, skip to Step 4.
4. W hen the array is finished building or if you are continuing from Step 3,
insert the W indows setup CD and restart the system.
5. Press F6 when prompted to install a third-party driver.
6. Insert the driver disk you created in Step 1 and wait until prompted to install
a driver.
7. Press S to specify that the driver is on the floppy disk, and press Enter .
W indows searches the disk for a suitable driver.
