HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Step 11. Install ArcHttp proxy Server

The SATA RAID controller ﬁrmware has embedded the web-browser

RAID manager and SNMP agent function. ArcHttp Proxy driver will

enable it. The Browser-based RAID manager provides all of the

creation, management, and monitor SATA RAID controller status.

Please reference the Chapter 5 for the detail ArcHtt proxy server

installation. The SNM agent function please reference appendix C.

Step 12. Determining the Boot sequences

SATA RAID is a bootable controller. If your system already con-

tains a bootable device with an installed operating system, you can

set up your system to boot a second operating system from the

new controller. To add a second bootable controller, you may need

to enter Setup and change the device boot sequence so that the

SATA RAID controller heads the list. If system BIOS Setup does not

allow this change, your system may not be conﬁgurable to allow

the SATA RAID controller to act as a second boot device.
