ATA RAID Software
4.1 Introduction
The HighPoint Storage Management Software is comprised of two separate utilities:
HighPoint Storage Management Console and HighPoint Storage Management Service
To simplify this guide, we will refer to the HighPoint Storage Management Console as
the Management Console, and the HighPoint Storage Management Service as the
Management Service.
Additionally, the system that hosts the Management Console may be referred to as the
administrative system, and the system that hosts the Management Service may be
referred to as the remote system.
The Management Console can be installed to any computer, and is used to monitor and
control RAID configurations utilized by other computers (remote systems). From the
Management Console, you can monitor one or more of these remote systems. The
software can be used to create, monitor, delete, or modify various types of RAID
arrays, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 (1/0), RAID 5, and JBOD.
The Management Service is designed to run continually on computers that utilize one
or more HighPoint ATA RAID controller. It is designed to receive and carry out com-
mands issued by the Management Console: logging events, executing scheduled tasks,
and creating or rebuilding RAID arrays.
4.2 Installation
Follow these steps to install the Serial ATA RAID software:
1. Insert the HighPoint ATA RAID Management Software setup floppy diskette 1
into your floppy drive, and double click the setup.exe icon to start the installation
procedure. When prompted, insert the remaining disks, and follow the
instructions displayed by the setup program.
2. Confirm the follow-up dialogue windows to finish the installation.
3. When installation is complete, restart the computer.
(Note: It is strongly recommended that you exit all windows programs before
running this Setup program.)
4. You can install both the Management Console, and the Management Service, to a
single computer, or install the Management Console to one computer, and the
Management Service to another computer (or several others). You can access the
Management Service through the Management Console software. See the
