Resolving Conflicts
When a RAID set is created, then metadata written to the disk includes
drive connection information. If, after a disk failure, the replacement
disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used in another system), it
may have conflicting metadata. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set
from being either created or rebuilt, in order for the RAID set to
function properly, this old metadata must be first overwritten with the
new metadata. To resolve this, from the main BIOS window select
Resolve Conflicts
, then press
Enter
, the correct metadata, including
the correct drive connection information, will be written to the
replacement disk.
Low Level Format
Low Level Format
is build into the RAID BIOS to make it more
convenient to erase the entire contents of a hard disk drive, including
data, drive and partition information. The Low Level Format utility
works on single hard drive only, before the RAID set is configured.
Logical Drive Info
This menu item allows the display of the assignment of physical drives
within a logical set (RAID0, RAID1, etc.). This is display only
function.
BIOS Configuration
The SATA 150 4-Channel PCI RAID Card BIOS will appear every
time your system starts up. If the BIOS doesn’t show, please try your
controller in another PCI slot. During this (POST) process, the BIOS
will show up and indicate the devices attached to it.
