5. If the hard disk drive you reset is part of a RAID volume, the computer might detect that the RAID volume
is degraded. In this case, you are prompted to select a hard disk drive to initiate a rebuild process.
6. Select an available hard disk drive, and then press Enter to initiate the rebuild process.
Note:
Press Esc to cancel a rebuild process and keep the RAID volume in the degraded status. In the

Installing SATA or SAS hard disk drives
Ensure that your computer has the minimum number of SATA or SAS hard disk drives installed for the
following supported levels of RAID:
• RAID Level 0 - Striped disk array
– A RAID Level 0 hard disk drive group consisting of at least one hard disk drive
– Supported strip size: 8 KB to 1 MB
– Better performance without fault tolerance
• RAID Level 00 - Spanned hard disk drive group with a series of RAID 0 hard disk drive groups
– A RAID Level 00 hard disk drive group consisting of two or four hard disk drives
– Supported strip size: 8 KB to 1 MB
– Better performance without fault tolerance
• RAID Level 1 - Mirrored disk array
– A RAID Level 1 hard disk drive group consisting of two or four hard disk drives
– Improved read performance and 100% redundancy
