About This Guide 1 This User's Guide explains how to install and use Adaptec® Storage Manager to build a storage space and manage your stored data, whether you have a single RAID controller installed in a server or a complex Storage Area Network (SAN) with multiple RAID controllers and servers. This Guide is written for advanced computer users who want to create a storage space for their data. Advanced knowledge of storage networks is not required, but you should be familiar with computer hardware, data storage, and Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology. If you are using Adaptec Storage Manager as part of a complex storage system, such as a SAN, you should be familiar with network administration terminology and tasks, have knowledge of Local Area Network (LAN) and SAN technology, and be familiar with the input/ output (I/O) technology-such as Fibre Channel (FC) or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)-that you are using on your network. Note: Because this Guide covers multiple Adaptec RAID products, some of the features and functions described here may not be available for your controller.

About This Guide
This
User’s Guide
explains how to install and use Adaptec
®
Storage
Manager to build a storage space and manage your stored data, whether
you have a single RAID controller installed in a server or a complex
Storage Area Network (SAN) with multiple RAID controllers and
servers.
This
Guide
is written for advanced computer users who want to create a
storage space for their data. Advanced knowledge of storage networks is
not required, but you should be familiar with computer hardware, data
storage, and Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)
technology.
If you are using Adaptec Storage Manager as part of a complex storage
system, such as a SAN, you should be familiar with network
administration terminology and tasks, have knowledge of Local Area
Network (LAN) and SAN technology, and be familiar with the input/
output (I/O) technology—such as Fibre Channel (FC) or Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS)—that you are using on your network.
Note:
Because this
Guide
covers multiple Adaptec RAID products,
some of the features and functions described here may not be available
for your controller.
