Driver Download
You’ll need to install a driver for the HighPoint card. For Mac OS X 10.4 and above, be sure to install Glyph's proprietary Mac OS X driver which is also available on the Glyph branded CD that ships with the card. This Mac driver allows Glyph Manager to work with Glyph RAID products such as the GT 062E and ForteRAID. Drivers for Windows and all other operating systems can be found on the HighPoint branded CD that came with your card, or can be downloaded from the HighPoint web site. Go to Support > Bios + Drivers > find the RocketRAID 2642. Downloading the driver may be safest since HighPoint may release new drivers since you bought your card. Make sure to download the Non-RAID Version, not the RAID Version.
