AAA-130U2 Series Installation and Hardware Guide
Use the Adaptec CI/O Management Software
with the AAA-131U2/133U2, to create additional arrays (CI/O is
required for array management in order to provide the proper level
of fault tolerance and event notification). Refer to the Adaptec CI/O
Management Software User's Guide for instructions on installing and
using the software.

Caution:
An Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) is a key

due to power failure or power brown outs. In order to pre-
vent errors or data loss due to power failure, Adaptec
strongly recommends that a UPS be installed to support
your system.
