NOTE
To monitor the server(s) remotely using StorCon, load MON4SOCK.DLL in the same directory as
StorCon. This DLL supports SPX/IPX and TCP/IP network protocols (for NetBIOS you can load
instead MON4NETB.DLL).

The StorCon Program

The structure of the Intel RAID Controller SRCMR firmware has four different levels of hierarchy.
Level 1 where the Physical Devices are found, level 2 containing the logical drives (made up of
one or several physical drives), level 3, the array drives, and finally, level 4, the host drives. Only
host drives are known to the operating system. The drive of a given level of hierarchy is always set
up by using the drives of the next lower level as components.

options, each referring to a level of hierarchy.

Physical Devices
Intel RAID Controller SRCMR can simultaneously control most types of host drives. For
example, a given system's drive C is a host drive (consisting of a single hard disk), drive D is a type
RAID 5 array drive, drive E is a Chain host drive, and drive F is a CD-ROM which communicates
with the OS through corelSCSI and the ASPI manager.
