ASUS GUI RAID Manager: Installation
2-4
2.2
Hardware Setup
2.2.1 Local Management
For local management, the controller is either installed in (for
PCI-to-SCSI controller) or connected to (for SCSI-to-SCSI
controller) the host. The following figure illustrates a typical
setup for a PCI-to-SCSI controller:
GUI RAID
Manager Station
PCI-to-SCSI
RAID Controller
PCI Bus
Since the controller is already installed in the host, no extra
connection is necessary. Just load the necessary driver for the
controller and then run the GUI RAID Manager from the local
host to start management of the disk array system.
