RAID (IIR) Controllers.
Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and the other
documents in the user documentation set supplied with this product.
1.1 Using the User Documentation Set
User documentation for this product is provided in four separate documents:
Installation Quick Start Poster
The Installation Quick Start Poster, or Quick Start Poster, provides a high level view of
installing and configuring a RAID controller. Refer to the accompanying Software Guide
for more detailed information.
Hardware Installation and User’s Guide
The Hardware Installation and User’s Guide, or Hardware Guide, covers instructions for
installing an IIR controller and provides a guide to its features and specifications. For a
particular IIR controller, its hardware guide documents compatible RAID adapters,
supported operating systems, standard features and optional features.
Software Installation and User’s Guide
The Software Installation and User’s Guide, or Software Guide, contains:
• Quick installation of the IIR controller software on a newly created bootable host drive
with commonly used operating systems.
• Detailed instructions covering more complex software installation scenarios for all
supported operating systems.
• Instructions for using the RAID Software Suite, the drivers, tools and utilities of the IIR
controller.
The first part of the software guide provides an overview of RAID technology and its
features. Next, the guide documents various installation procedures for an IIR controller
and the RAID Software Suite, depending on the chosen OS configuration. The software
guide then includes descriptions of the utilities, Storage Console (StorCon) and Storage
Console Plus (StorCon+), to facilitate the configuration of the RAID subsystem. Finally,
the guide provides details of all product features supported by the software and firmware
For further information refer to the Optional Features section of the appropriate hardware
guide since not all features are applicable to all IIR controllers.
