chapter illustrates and assumes a 4 port SATA RAID 5 controller so the photos may be somewhat
different. Refer to Chapter 7 for a brief section on the MaxPac8230 connection to the TeraPac3 and
to the TeraPac3 User Operation and Maintenance Guide for more details.
Note that these discussions reflect system configurations that have the system partition established

separate system drive are discussed earlier in this chapter.
When you take possession of your MaxPac 8230 system, the RAID system will already have been
