to “Y” by pressing the “space” bar
key.
For the meanings of “Array Mode”, “Drive No” and “Status”, please refer to
on page 21. The location of the hard drive is shown at column “Channel
ID”. “Pri” represents the primary channel and “Sec” represents the secondary channel.
D0 represents a master hard drive while D1 represents a slave hard drive. Column
“Drive Name” shows the model name of the hard drive. Column “Size” shows the
capacity of each hard drive. When a symbol
is shown before the size, the capacity
unit is gigabyte.
When you press “Ctrl-Y” keys to save your change, Setup Utility will check if the
setting is legal. If not, an error message will pop up to show you what the error is and
you have to correct the setting. Limitations are shown as below.
Stripe (RAID 0): There isn’t any specific limitation.
Mirror (RAID 1): Two hard drives that form a RAID 1 array have to be attached as the
same master or slave hard disks. For example, primary channel (Pri) master drive
(D0) and secondary channel (Sec) master drive (D0) can form a mirror array; primary
channel (Pri) slave drive (D1) and secondary channel (Sec) slave drive (D1) can form
a mirror array; but primary channel master drive and primary channel slave drive
cannot form a mirror array.
