The following explains general notes on HostRAID:
For notes on the BIOS setup utility, refer to Chapter 4 of this manual. For notes on ASMBE, refer to

Only use the HostRAID drive as a system drive.
Only a hard disk drive can be connected to a channel with which HostRAID is enabled
through the BIOS setup utility.
To connect a device other than a hard disk drive, disable HostRAID and use it as the
standard SATA.
In addition to driver installation, ASMBE installation is mandatory for using HostRAID
functions. For the installation of ASMBE, refer to the "Adaptec Storage Manager™ -
Browser Edition User's Guide."
If you replace a hard disk drive being used with HostRAID, please replace the hard disk
drive after power-off of the system. Be sure to check the PORT number of the hard disk
drive to be replaced in ASMBE in advance.
HostRAID does not permit the use of the standby/hibernation mode of ACPI functions.
Use ASMBE to maintain HostRAID, but do not use any other utilities.
If the following messages are included in the application log or log generated by the
ASMBE, your RAID system operates normally.
