Installing the embedded SATA RAID driver
HP provides the SATA RAID feature through use of the HP Storage Manager. This feature enables RAID
functionality (RAID 0 or RAID 1) for the embedded SATA controller in the system.
Required hardware
Installing the Embedded SATA RAID driver requires a diskette drive or a CD-ROM drive.
In a Microsoft® Windows® OS environment, driver installation is supported only with a USB diskette drive
, LO100i Virtual Floppy, or Virtual Floppy with the embedded SATA RAID Windows® driver.
Some servers do not ship with these drives as standard hardware.
