array unit via a single connection.
2. Power on the server and log in as a user having administrative authority (built-in-administrator for
Windows Server 2008) for the server where PathManager will be installed. Insert the setup
CD-ROM of PathManager in the CD/DVD drive of the server.
3. When the message shown below or a similar message appears, click Yes. If no message is shown,
run "iSpmStarter.exe" located in the root directory of the setup CD-ROM of PathManager.
