Chapter 4. RAID Manager Software
Introduction
The RAIDBank5 includes RAID Manager, a management utility for users to administrate one or
multiple RAIDBank5 RAID subsystems attached to the host computer. The RAIDBank5 Manager
provides a simple graphic user interface to create volumes, monitor hardware status, check event
logs, upgrade firmware, etc. This Chapter describes the menu and control structure for your
RAIDBank5 using the web interface. The RAIDBank5 configuration utility is firmware based and
its operation is independent of host computer type or operating system.
