Do not install the AutoRAID Manager software into the root directory of the local drive. Installing the

Make sure you share the AutoRAID Manager Administrator folder (Program
Files/AutoRAID/ARMadmin [the default location]) on the server if you want to manage the disk arrays
from a remote client. If this folder is not shared, you will get a security access violation when you try to
manage the disk array using AutoRAID Manager.

Windows NT allows the static assignment of drive letters on volumes, partitions, and CD-ROM drives.
This means that a drive letter can be permanently assigned to a specific hard disk, partition or volume,
and CD-ROM drive. When a new hard disk is added to an existing computer system, it will not affect
statically assigned drive letters. Installing the failover driver can cause remapping of your disk drives if
they have not been assigned as "static". To prevent re-mapping, use the Disk Administrator
(Start|Programs|Administrative Tools) and reassign the current disk drive letters to each drive.
Reassigning the letters will make the assignments "static" and prevent remapping.
To install the AutoRAID Manager software:
1. Logon to the network as a user with administrator privileges
2. Load the HP AutoRAID on Windows NT CD into the CD-ROM drive. The AutoRun feature will
automatically start the setup program (if AutoRun is not enabled, you must run setup.exe manually).
3. As you proceed through the setup, select the following options when prompted:
Select the appropriate system configuration option.
It is recommended that you use the default locations for the AutoRAID Manager files.
