not appear in the interface.
W ith Adaptec Storage Manager, you can:
w
Locally manage a system containing a supported Adaptec RAID controller that
has W indows or Linux and a supported browser.
w
Remotely manage any system containing a supported Adaptec RAID control-
ler that has Managed System Components (see Typical, Custom, and Com-

manage.
