  marked as "BOOT" will always be mapped as first SCSI disk. Please keep it in
  mind when installing Windows NT/2K/XP, otherwise OS may be installed to wrong
  location.

5. Known Problems
==================

  * Install OS to devices attached to MAXPower eSATA 6G RAID Controller

    Before installing OS to devices attached to MAXPower eSATA 6G RAID Controller, 
    you must remove the drives connected to other controllers from your system 
    temporarily. After OS installation complete, you can put them back.

  * Moving disks to other controllers

    When you want to use disks previously attached to MAXPower eSATA 6G RAID 
    Controller on other controllers, please first delete any array information on 
    the disks. Otherwise your data may be lost when you want to put it back later.
