Installation
Windows NT, you must run all ATTO
ExpressPCI/ATTO ExpressRAID utilities from a
true DOS prompt only, not a DOS window.
Uses Use RAID 0 in environments that demand
high I/O rates such as video production and
editing, image editing, and pre-press.
Digital video If you are using ATTO
ExpressRAID in a digital video environment, you
will want to set your interleave setting to 64K.
You may proceed to perform benchmark testing or
run a test capture to fine tune your interleave
setting.
Upgrading ATTO ExpressRAID To upgrade ATTO
ExpressRAID, you must also update all operating
system and ATTO ExpressPCI drivers and reflash
the ATTO ExpressPCI FC host adapter. The
operating system drivers are an integral part of
ATTO ExpressRAID and are all included on your
ATTO ExpressRAID CD.
Back ups Since RAID 0 does not provide fault
tolerance, establish a backup policy to protect data
stored on RAID 0 volumes.

the first stripe group.
