This part is theory for me, but I believe you have to use DPT's software to
set the card up to do RAID. There's DOS, Windows, OS/2 and other versions
of the setup software. Pick one, run it and it will set the card up to do
the RAID for you. At that point, the drives look like one drive to Linux.
Again, this is theory, but that's the process that the manual describes.
