Matrix Storage Manager Information" for RAID configuration. Please refer to the document
in the Support CD, "Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installation and RAID Configuration", which
is located in the folder at the following path: .. \ RAID Installation Guide and the document
in the support CD, "Guide to Intel Matrix Storage Manager", which is located in the folder at
