2. Select
Array Mode
and press <Enter>, a list of array modes will appear. High-
light the target array mode that you want to create, and press <Enter> to confirm
the selection. If RAID 1 is selected, an option list will popup and enable the
users to select
Create only
or
Create and duplicate
.
Create only
will allow BIOS
to only create an array. The data on the mirroring drive may be different from
the source drive.
Create and duplicate
lets BIOS copy the data from the source
to the mirroring drive.
3. After array mode is selected, there are two methods to create a disk array. One
method is “
Auto Setup
” and the other one is “
Select Disk Drives
”.
Auto Setup
allows BIOS to select the disk drives and create arrays automatically, but it does
not duplicate the mirroring drives even if the user selected
Create and duplicate
for RAID 1 . It is recommended all disk drives are new ones when wanting to
create an array.
Select Disk Drives
lets the user select the array drives by their
requirements. When using
Select Disk Drives
, the channel column will be
activated. Highlight the target drives that you want to use and press <Enter> to
select them. After all drives have been selected, press <Esc> to go back to the
creation steps menu.
