The integrated SATA RAID feature (SATA HostRAID) comes disabled by default.
You must enable it and install the device drivers before you can use it. The SATA
RAID feature configuration utilities, device drivers, and information are available on
the ServeRAID-8e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD.
Enabling the Serial ATA HostRAID feature: Important: A configuration conflict
(error 1801) might occur if SATA RAID and SAS/SATA RAID are both enabled. If
you are enabling the Serial ATA HostRAID feature, make sure the RAID Support
option in the SAS/SATA Configuration Utility program is disabled (for more
information, see "Enabling the SAS HostRAID feature" on page 108).

devices.
For additional information about using the Array Configuration Utility program to
create, configure, and manage arrays, see the documentation on the ServeRAID-8e
(Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD.
