Initialization of the unit begins.
Initialization of a RAID 1 unit results in data from one disk (the
disk on the lower channel number) being copied to the other disk.
In RAID 10 units, data from one half of the array is copied to the
other half.
After the initial verification, subsequent verifies to a RAID 1 or 10
unit check for data consistency by comparing the data from one
drive (or set of drives) to the other drive (or set of drives).
Checking the Motherboard Boot
Sequence
Using your computer’s Setup utility, ensure that it shows the
appropriate boot device.
After installing the 3ware 9000 controller in your system, go into
the BIOS for your computer system to check and change the boot
order. This is necessary because most systems automatically change
the boot order when they detect a newly installed controller and
device. Refer to the documentation for your system for information
about starting the system BIOS.
