It is the OS but it requires a working unit to install.

Currently there is not way to install the gsu. Your only option is find another Guardian OS Unit and have them transfter the os to your drive. In most cases users do not want to tear their system down to do this. It requires change the drive setup to JBOD, removing all drives but drive 1. You install yours in drive 2. After about 10 mim you will have a bootable drive.

Or Purchase a HD from Adaptec with the OS. This is what the last user did that came through here.
