Adding Enhanced Features

As you grow your storage space, you can enhance data protection and
improve performance by upgrading your Adaptec controller with extra
features, then manage these enhanced features with Adaptec Storage
Manager.

Adaptec offers a package of upgrade features that can be activated with
a feature key (sold separately). Purchase a feature key to unlock these
features:

Copyback (see

page 98

)

Snapshots (see

page 96

)

RAID 1E (see

page 166

)

RAID 5EE (see

page 169

)

RAID 6 (see

page 171

)

RAID 60 (see

page 172

)

Locked features—features which are unavailable without a key—
have a padlock icon (shown at right) beside them, as shown in the
examples below. If you select a locked feature, you are reminded that a
key is required to unlock it.

To purchase a feature key, contact your Adaptec Reseller or refer to the
Adaptec Web site at
