Configuring RAID
Creating a RAID volume
Because RAID can be configured so many ways, this procedure
covers only the basics. This procedure assumes that no RAID
has been defined yet.
To create a RAID volume:
1
Install additional hard drives as needed for your RAID
plan. For instructions on installing hard drives, see
“Adding or replacing a hard drive” on page 57
2
Start (or restart) your computer, then press
F9
during
startup. The
MediaShield Utility
(RAID setup) screen
opens.
3
To create a new array, set
RAID Mode
to
Striping
(for
RAID 0), then select drives on the left and click
Add
to
add the drives to the array.
4
Press
F7
, then press
Y
. The new array is created.
5
Press
C
TRL
+
X
to exit the utility. Your computer restarts.
6
Install the operating system from the Windows disc that
came with your computer.
Deleting a RAID volume
Deleting a RAID volume deletes all files on that volume,
including operating system files. Before deleting a RAID
volume, make sure that all important files have been
backed up.
To delete a RAID volume:
1
Start (or restart) your computer, then press
F9
during
startup. The
MediaShield Utility
(RAID setup) screen
opens.
2
Press the arrow keys to highlight the RAID volume you
want to delete, then press
E
NTER
. The
Array Detail
screen
opens.
3
Press
D
to delete the array. In this screen, you can also
press
C
to clear (delete all data from) the array.
Caution
If your computer has the operating system installed on a RAID,
deleting the RAID will remove the operating system, and you will not be
able to start your computer into Windows.
