Rebuild Raid1 set: If a drive has failed in a RAID1 configuration (mirroring), this option
allows you to synchronize the data between the new replacement drive and the
remaining good hard drive that contains a copy of the data.
Resolve Conflicts: If you have installed a drive that was previously used in another
array, this option will resolve any metadata conflicts that could cause your array not to
function or produce erratic behavior.
Low Level Format: This feature completely overwrites the data on the selected drive(s)
with zeros; this is essentially a comprehensive deletion tool. This will destroy all data on
the drive, including partition information. Ensure you have a complete, good backup
before using this option.
Logical Drive Info: This displays information on how the logical drive will appear to the
computer and the operating system. In all RAID configurations, the drives in your array
will appear to be a single physical drive. If you wish, you can partition the logical drive
space into multiple partitions using your operating system. For further information,
please consult the SATARaid User's Manual located on the accompanying Drivers disk.
IMPORTANT: If you want your computer to boot from your RAID, you must configure
your computer’s BIOS to use the drives connected to the PCISATA4R1 in your boot
sequence. Depending on the options available, you must set your boot sequence to
include
RAID or SCSI to use the RAID as the boot drive, particularly if you have ATA
hard drives connected to the motherboard’s IDE controller. Depending on the
configuration of the computer, you may not need to make any changes to the BIOS if you
do not have any ATA hard drives installed on the onboard IDE controller. Consult your
computer or motherboard documentation for more details on including the RAID card in
your boot sequence.
