The Adaptec RAID Configuration (ARC) utility is a BIOS-based utility that you can use to
create arrays and manage controllers, disk drives and other devices.
Note:
We recommend that only advanced users familiar with working in a computer BIOS use
the ARC utility tools. For more information, see Managing Your Storage Space on page 79
