Scanning busses

Drives may not be seen by ExpressRAID at start-
up, such as when a drive is not powered up. If you
believe other drives are on a bus but are not visible
in the ExpressRAID device window, the busses
can be rescanned. Rescanning the bus checks
every ID of every bus for devices. Any devices
found are displayed in the device window.
To rescan the bus, select the Rescan Bus option
from the Utilities Menu or click the Rescan Bus
button in the main window.

Volume Window

the ExpressRAID main window. It displays all
Macintosh volumes on all SCSI and Fibre
