What Adaptec RAID management tools are available, and what are the purposes of each?
• Adaptec Storage Manager™ – Adaptec’s management utility which centralizes of all Adaptec RAID products. Adaptec Storage Manager enables remote RAID management, monitoring, and configuration through secure, encrypted communication. • ARCCONF (Command Line Interface – CLI) – text-based command line interface that provides the same functions as Adaptec Storage Manager in environments where a GUI is not available. • BIOS configuration utility (ACU) – used for quick and easy local setup without booting the OS.

This frees up the host C
