Using the Adaptec CD
The Adaptec SCSI RAID CD is a bootable media. You can use this CD
to configure disk arrays in a host system that does not yet have an
operating system installed. The CD-ROM drive must be attached to a
controller and host system that recognizes bootable CDs. Some systems
might require you to change the system BIOS configuration so that the
CD-ROM drive is used as a boot device.
When the CD is used as a boot source, an operating system is loaded
and then the Adaptec SCSI RAID installation utility starts. You will be
able to read the product documentation, install I

O drivers, run Storage
Manager, and create disks to use for driver installation when the
operating system being installed cannot use the CD-ROM as a source
for the files.
