Background Initialize after creation of
VD.
Recommended value: No

IMPORTANT:

BGI (Back Ground Initialize) is available only for RAID5 VD
configured with five or more HDDs.

To use RAID 5 or RAID 6, with Internal RAID Controller
(equivalent to N8103-116), you need to additionally install the
optional N8103-119 RAID Upgrade Kit.

If N8103-119 RAID Upgrade Kit is not installed, do not select
"RAID5" that may appear in [RAID Level] box. If selected, you
will fail to save the configuration information. In such a case, you
need to define a VD again from the beginning.
