The SATARaid GUI Installation program configures the SATARaid GUI to automatically
start when Windows is started. If the SATARaid GUI does not automatically start or is
closed by the user, choose the JAVA SATARaid program from the Start Menu to launch
the GUI. This section explains how to use the SATARAID5 Manager graphical user
interface (GUI) to create and manage RAID groups. Please install the SATARAID5
Manager software as explained in the SATARAID5 Quick Installation Guide located on
the accompanying drivers CD in the following path:
SATAII\3Gbps_Raid_4Port\SiI3124\Win XP_2000_2003_NT\GUI
The SATARaid GUI monitors the system’s RAID Set in the background, and runs
minimized in the System Tray. To open the main window, click the icon located on the
taskbar.
Devices and Information Windows
The Devices window identifies the computer running SATARaid, SATA host adapters,
SATA devices, and configured RAID sets. Selecting each component in the configuration
tree displays data that is unique to that component in the Information window. Selecting
a specific device channel will show that channel’s information. Selecting a specific drive
reports all pertinent information for that drive, including the drive’s serial number,
firmware version, ATA version and current mode as well as Configuration and Disk
Identification information. Selecting Sets lists the Sets in the configuration tree and
provides information on RIO Version.
Selecting a specific RAID set, such as Set 0, and the type of RAID set, the number of
members and capacity will be displayed in the main (tabbed) window.
