Changes to RAID Array Configuration
NOTE
To safeguard critical data, backup your system using normal
backup procedures before altering device partitions.
Do not alter partitions that contain important data.
When making changes to an existing RAID Array configuration, any existing disk partitions
to be changed (or removed) must first be deleted using Windows NT Disk Administrator.
After they have been deleted, you may use the RAID Array 310 Manager described in this
manual,
Chapter 3, Installing and Using the RAID Array 310 Manager for Windows NT, to make the
changes.
