ACU on SmartStart CD doesn’t see Raid controller at all as any other Linux system until you enable it in BIOS (called “ROM-Based Setup Utility”)

Here is what you do:
on POST screen choose “ROM-Based Setup Utility” ->
go to Advanced Options -> SATA Controller Options -> Embedded SATA Configuration
then you will see warning “if you continue all people on the earth will die and galaxy gonna be in danger… =) ” PRESS ENTER =D
-> Enable SATA RAID Support.
-> Reboot

That’s it!

Now you will see RAID Smart Array utility options on POST screen and also you can configure RAID via ACU on SmartStart CD.

here are some links that could help for other products:

I would still suggest that you look for the SmartStart CD as mentioned by MrDenny you get a nice graphical representation of your arrays and disks.
