Confirming your system configuration
Use the configuration summary to review all the changes that the Adaptec Storage Manager
will apply to your configuration:
-
Review the information displayed in the "Configuration summary"
window. To change your Express configuration, click
;
to change your Custom configuration, click Back.
- Click Apply; then, click Yes when asked if you want to apply
the new configuration. The configuration is saved in the controller
and in the physical drives.
Note: The Adaptec Storage Manager
initializes the logical devices automatically. The initialization
method depends on the RAID level and controller type.
- After you configure your controller, you can change certain controller settings
to fine-tune your configuration for optimal performance.
Note: During
Custom configuration, you can fine tune your configuration using the Advanced
settings in the Configuration wizard.
Attention:
After you apply the configuration, the logical devices
will display as physical drives under your operating system.
Before you can use these drives to store data, you must partition
and format the drives using the disk management tools provided
with your operating system.
Each operating system provides its own disk management tools. For example,
under Microsoft Windows, use the Computer Management tool to partition and format drives;
then, assign each logical device to a drive letter. For more information, see your
operating system administrator's guide.
