1. Re: RAID - Areca Driver Installation
Bill Gehrke Apr 26, 2011 8:35 AM (in response to mikeklar)No it is not necessary. Just install the card and when it boots you can setup your RAID with the fireware on the card. Windows will not find it of course. Install the driver with Windows open and possibly reboot. Windows this time will find your card and they you have the typical hard drive initializing and formatting.

2. Re: RAID - Areca Driver Installation
mikeklar Apr 26, 2011 5:37 PM (in response to Bill Gehrke)Thank you Bill
It is confusing reading the manual as the terminology used is different from Adaptec's and I'm no expert on this.
It's still a little unclear what is meant by "This chapter describes how to install the 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller driver to your operating system". Initially I thought it is for firmware update.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Michael
