      where you install Universal RAID Utility. If you leave the server
      without restart, Universal RAID Utility will not operate properly.

  (2) The RAID Viewer and the Log Viewer are not available in Windows
      Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 or
      Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016 Server Core. Use
      raidcmd with the administrative right.

  (3) About support of Solid State Drive (SSD)
      To display the Solid State Drive correctly in the environment where
      the onboard RAID Controllers (LSI Embedded MegaRAID) are used, you
      need the driver ver14.00.1026 or later which supports the Solid State
      Drive.
      Please check if the version of driver is 14.00.1026 or later.

      (a) Uninstall Universal RAID Utility and then install Universal RAID
          Utility in the folder different from that you have installed 
          before, WITHOUT restarting the computer before install it. 

      (b) Install ExpresssUpdate Agent and install Universal RAID Utility
          first time.

      In either case, the display will become normal after restarting the
      server or ExpressUpdate Agent service.
