Setup of disk array (RAID)
When a RAID controller is additionally installed in the system
after purchase, or it is built in the server before delivery, it is
required to set the disk array (RAID).
When “Simple setup” is selected from the “Selection of RAID
configuration” during execution of the “Setup” of the Toshiba
Server Setup Tool, the RAID controller utilities have no need of
operation because the RAID is configured by minimum setting in
this case. When “Detailed setup” or “No setup” is selected, or the
RAID is to be configured without use of the Toshiba Server Setup
Tool, it is required to set up the RAID.
See “MegaRAID Software Guide.”
If the operating system (OS) is installed in the server in which a
RAID controller is built in, be sure to install a Power Console that
is a RAID monitor and control utility, and the Service after instal-
lation of the OS (for Windows NT or Windows 2000).
NOTE: When installing Windows NT or Windows 2000 using
the Toshiba Server Setup Tool, the Power Console and Ser-
vice can be automatically installed after the operating system.

See “Toshiba Server Setup Tool User’s Guide” on your Docu-
mentation CD-ROM.
