SAC is a component of Microsoft's Emergency Management Services technology
in Windows Server 2003 that supports remote management and system recovery
for servers not accessible through an in-band connection, such as a local area
network (LAN) or Internet. SAC is a command-line environment accessed during
the startup process. The SAC commands are available at the following web site:

If the Yahoo Toolbar is installed on a Windows client using Internet Explorer, the
client cannot connect to the SMS service on the DL100 G2 storage server.
In order to connect to SMS on the DL100 G2 storage server from a remote
Windows client, ensure the Yahoo Toolbar is not installed, or uninstall the Yahoo
Toolbar from the client before connecting to SMS.
The Adaptec Storage Manager utility can fail to display RAID controller
information when a system configured in DHCP mode for the network address
does not obtain an IP address in a timely manner.
Restart the AdaptecStorageManagerAgent service after ensuring that the
system has a valid IP address.
The HP SMS needs the Macromedia Flash player to display the General view on
the DL100 G2 storage server.
Download and install the Macromedia Flash player.
The Adaptec 2410SA, 2420SA, and 2610SA controllers contain cache memory
that may be used for read ahead or write back. Enabling the write back cache
improves performance by allowing the operating system to assume the write made
it to disk when in fact the write only made it to the onboard memory. While this
does improve performance substantially, data loss can occur on writes that make
it to memory but not to disk in the event of a power failure to the unit.
HP recommends that an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) be used with the
unit for cache enablement to ensure that data loss does not occur. Cache
memory may be adjusted via the Adaptec Storage Manager utility (refer to the
administration guide) or via the ROM based setup. By default, the Adaptec
Storage Manager sets the write cache to enabled on newly created logical disks
via the tool. The setting should be reviewed and set appropriately if a new logical
device is created by the user.
