“RAID 5 + Hot Fix” and press <Enter>.
8. For security reasons, you will be asked if you want to use the selected disk to create a host
drive. Storage Console displays a warning that all data will be destroyed after confirmation.
Confirm your choice by pressing <Y>. Storage Console creates a new host drive.
9. Enter the appropriate drive capacity and press <Enter>.
10. The new host drive is created. Press <F10> to refresh and begin the build process. Its status is
still “build”, since the Intel RAID Controller SRCMR synchronizes both drives.

NOTE
The array build will continue as a background task. Exit Storage Console, by pressing <ESC>,
and the array build will continue in the background after BIOS POST upon reboot. You can then
proceed with OS installation while the array continues the build process in the background.
11. When leaving Storage Console, by pressing <ESC > , a progress window informs you about the
estimated completion time for the build process.
