Storage Requirements for Drivers and Software
Adaptec Storage Management software and device drivers require
approximately 4 MB of disk space. The host system should have
64 MB of memory, and a Pentium processor that is at least as fast as
200 MHz. A mouse and SVGA color monitor are also required.
Adaptec Storage Manager Pro requires 40 MB of available disk space
for installation. The host system should have 64 MB of memory, a
Pentium processor (200 MHz or faster), and a video adapter capable
of 800 × 600 resolution with 256 colors.
Motherboard Compatibility
The Adaptec controller requires a motherboard BIOS that:
Complies with the PCI Local Bus Specification (revisions 2.1 and 2.2).
I
Supports multifunction devices where one of the devices is a
I
PCI bridge.
Provides large memory-mapped address ranges.
I
Most motherboards manufactured since 1997 have these
capabilities. For information about any known compatibility issues,

README
The zero channel Adaptec 2000S and 2005S controllers provide
advanced RAID functionality to server motherboards incorporating
onboard Adaptec SCSI and Embedded RAID Logic (EMRL) or
RAIDIOS™ logic. The 2000S is designed to work in one of the
supported EMRL- or RAIDIOS-enabled PCI slots. The 2005S plugs
into a specially-designed SO-DIMM PCI connector, present only on
specific motherboards.
