Using Disk Utilities and Formats With RAID

Important Drive Setup, the disk utility from Apple Computer, should not be used with RAID

volumes. You must manage your RAID volumes using the RAID application.

To set up your RAID volumes to take advantage of Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) format:

1 Create and set up your RAID volumes using the RAID application.

2 Quit the RAID application and return to the Finder.

3 Select the new RAID volume and choose Erase Disk from the Special menu to reformat the

volume in Extended format.

128-Bit 2D/3D Graphics Accelerator Card

If your computer came with an additional graphics card, you have the following options for

connecting an external monitor to your computer:

m connect an external monitor to the built-in monitor port (shown in the manual that came

with your computer)

m connect an external monitor to the graphics card installed in one of the PCI slots

There are two ports on the optional graphics card. One is the type found on the back of most

Macintosh computers; the other is a VGA port so you don’t need an adapter for a VGA monitor.

Note: You cannot use both ports on the optional graphics card at the same time.

m connect two external monitors to your computer

You can connect one monitor to the built-in monitor port and the other monitor to one of

the ports on the graphics card, which is installed in one of the PCI slots.

Important To capture video using the video input ports on the optional Power Macintosh

Audio/ Video card, a monitor needs to be connected to the built-in monitor port. If you have

only one monitor connected to the optional 128-bit 2D/3D graphics accelerator card, you will

not be able to capture video. If you want to capture video, switch your monitor to the built-in

monitor port or connect a second monitor. When performing video capture with two monitors

connected to your Power Macintosh, make sure that the video capture window is displayed on

the monitor that is connected to the built-in monitor port.

Warning

This process will erase all the data on your RAID volume. Be sure you back

up your files before reformatting RAID volumes.
