During the controller rmware upgrade ash process, it is pos-
sible for a problem to occur resulting in corruption of the controller
rmware. With our Redundant Flash image feature the controller
will revert back to the last known version of rmware and continue
operating. This reduces the risk of system failure due to rmware
crash. Areca greater than 2TB support allows for very large vol-
ume set application in 64-bit environment such as data-mining and
managing large databases.
Maximum Interoperability
The ARC-1200 is a half length low prole 2-port SATA ll RAID
controller. It supports broad operating system including Windows
Vista, Windows® Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Red
Hat Linux (Open Source), SuSE Linux (Open Source), FreeBSD
(Open Source), Solaris (Open Source), Mac and more, along with
key system monitoring features such as SMTP and SNMP function.
Easy RAID Management
The BIOS contains an embedded McBIOS RAID manager that can
access via hot key at BIOS boot-up screen. This pre-boot McBIOS
RAID manager can use to simplify the setup and management of
RAID adapter. The adapter rmware also contains and browser-
based McRAID storage manager that can access through the Http
proxy server in Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac envi-
ronment. The McBIOS RAID manager allows local and remote to
create and modify RAID set, volume set, and monitor RAID status
from standard web browser. API software components and CLI
also support for the RAID manager. The Single Admin Portal (SAP)
monitor utility can support one application to scan multiple RAID
units in the network. The Disk Stress Test (DST) utility kicks out
disks meeting marginal spec before the RAID unit is actually put
on-line for real business.
