RAID D arrays). Initiaalize - this com mmand is used d to prepare d disks for use w with RAID arrayys. Disks mustt be initialized d before they can be used tto create arrayys.
5.4 Creating C RA AID Arrays Initializing Diskks: Beforre creating a RAID array, the disks must be initialized. Disk initialization wrrites necessarry RAID confiiguration information to th he hard disks.. Select the In nitialize comm mand from th he toolbar, and press ENTEER.
Highllight the targeet disks using the t arrow keyys, then select using Enter. A numeral will be displayed d before each selected diskk. Once all tarrget disks havee been selecteed, press ESC. The utility will w display a w warning, and ask a you to preess Y (yes) to initialize, or N (no) to canccel. Once initiialized, these disks can be used to creatte RAID arrayss. Warn ning: Initialization will destrroy all pre- exiisting data on the selected h nly initialize hard disks. On diskss that do not ccontain criticall data.
Creaating Arrayss: Selecct Create from m the toolbar aand press Enteer.

1.
U the arrow Use w keys to selecct the RAID levvel and press EENTER.
2.
Use the arrow U w keys to highlight the Arrayy Name option n and press En nter. The arrayy name dialoggue box w appear. U will Use the keyboaard to input a new Array Naame, and presss the Enter keey.
Notee: the Array Naame command d is optional – it is not neceessary to namee the array. Th he array can b be nameed at a later tiime, and the n name of the array can be ch hanged at any time. 3.
On the Createe menu, use th O he arrow keys to highlight th he Select Devices item and press Enter. A d device list willl appear, and d display all avaailable hard dissk drives.

4.
Highlight the ttarget disks th H hat you want tto use, and preess Enter to seelect them. A numeral will b be d displayed befo ore each seleccted disk. Thiss number desiignates disk orrder. After all of the disks have b been selected d and press thee ESC key to reeturn to the C Create Menu.
5.
Next, Use the ↓ arrow key to highlight th N he Capacity (G GB) option and d press Enter. The total available c capacity will b be displayed. P Press ENTER iff you wish to u use all available space. If you wish to reseerve d space for additional arrrays/single dissks, use the keeyboard to inp disk put the amoun nt of space (in GB) y wish to seet aside for thiis particular array, and presss Enter. you
he same set off hard disk drivves. The Capaccity option allows Notee: Multiple arrays can be creeated using th you tto set aside disk space that be used to creeate another array, a set as a spare disk, orr partitioned tto act as a single s disk (byy the operatingg system). 6.
F redundantt RAID arrays (RAID 1, 5, 10), select the C For Cache Policy:
Writee Back – utilizzes disk cache (higher performing) Writee Through – w writes directly to the disks (m may reduce th he risk of dataa loss during a critical failuree, but at the cost of loweer performancce). Also known ass “Variable Secctor Size”. Usee this option if you are using an older 32--bit 7. SSector Size – A W Windows operrating system.. This allows o older operatin ng systems to support volum mes over 2TB iin ssize. Do not use if the operaating system aalready suppo orts large volumes (such as GPT). G 8. TTo complete the creation prrocedure, use the arrow keyy to highlight the Start Creaation item and d p press Enter. Prress the Y (yess) key to creatte the array, o or N (no) key to o cancel the ccreation proceess.

5.5 Deleting D Arrrays Highllight the Delette command ffrom the toolb bar, and press Enter. The BIOS B utility w will display a lisst of availablee RAID arrays.. Select the arrray you wish to delete, an nd press Enterr.
utility will disp play a warningg message. Preess Y (yes) to delete the arrray, or select N (no) to canceel. The u
ning: all data stored on thee array will be lost – do not delete if the array contain ns critical dataa. Warn
5.6 Adding/Rem A move Sparee Disks This A Add/Remove Spare commaand is used to assign a hard disk to act as a Spare Disk. Spare Disks are used to au utomatically reebuild Redund dant RAID arraays (RAID 1, 5,, 10) in the casse of disk failu ure. As with crreating RAID D arrays, disks must be initiaalized before they can be ussed as spares. To set a hard d disk to act ass a Sparee Disk, use thee arrow keys tto select the taarget disk from m the list of in nitialized diskss, and press En nter. To remo ove the Spare Disk setting frrom a hard dissk, highlight th he spare disk, and press Entter.
13
Geneerally, single disks are design nated to act as spares (diskss that are not configured intto RAID arrayss). Howeever, in somee instances, disks that are m members of RAID R arrays m may also be deesignated to aact as a sparee. If the disks in question are part of a RA AID array thatt did not utilizze the full available capacityy at the time of creation, these disks maay be used as sspares. For exaample: a RAID D 0 array was ccreated betweeen two 200G GB hard disks, but only 200GB of space (out of a grand d total of 400GB), was assiggned to that aarray. In this eexample, 200G GB of disk spaace remains un nallocated. Th his unallocated d space would d allow these disks to be seet as spares fo or a separate redundant arraay that falls intto the same capacity range (200GB).
5.7 Settings S To acccess the Settiings menu, higghlight the Setttings command from the toolbar, and prress Enter.
Selecct Boot Devicee – select whicch disk or arraay will act as th he boot disk, iif the motherb board BIOS insstructs the card c to act as tthe boot devicce. pinup – This o option is disab bled by defaultt. Enabling this setting will instruct the caard to Stagggered Drive Sp poweer up the hard d disks, sequen ntially (one dissk approximattely every 2 seeconds). Not aall disk support this settin ng – consult th he disk docum mentation for more m information. Warn ning: Western n Digital hard d disks do not su upport this settting. Enablin ng this setting is not recomm mended. If enaabled, these d disks may not be detected b by non-RAID co ontroller.
