Procedure - integrating hard disk manually
When the "Automatic rebuild" option is deselected in the "Preferences" menu of the RAID
software (default setting), you must integrate the hard disk manually:
1.
Select "Start" > "Programs" > "Intel Rapid Storage Technology".
2.
Click
"Run Hardware Scan now".
The new hard disk is found and displayed.
Or:
1.
Reboot the device.
The RAID software automatically integrates the hard disk.
2.
Click the "Rebuild to another Disk" link.
The RAID system is synchronized.
The following figure shows the window when integrating a hard disk in a RAID1 system.
If you shut down and restart the system without installing a functioning new hard disk,
"unused" is displayed for the corresponding SATA port. You can install the functioning hard
disk while the system is running. The new hard disk is then assigned to a SATA port and is
integrated into the RAID system.
A defective hard disk is still displayed during the rebuilding process. This display disappears
when the rebuilding process is completed.
