Removal and Replacement Procedures
— Stripe Size—changes the stripe size. This field applies only to RAID 0 arrays. The
default stripe size is 64 KB.
IMPORTANT: RAID configurations do not support a stripe size less than 32 KB.
You cannot change the stripe size of an array that has been already configured.
— Drive Size—displays the size of the array and cannot be edited. If the array type is
stripe, then the drive size is the total of all the drives selected. When mirrored, the
drive size is shown by an individual drive.
— Build Array—is used to rebuild the array using a spare drive. When Build Array
starts, it prompts the user to select the target drive, and then the rebuild starts. This
option applies only to RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 arrays.
— Initialize Array—is used to clear the configuration information from drives attached
to the integrated ATA controller.

Delete Array (the F5 key)—allows you to delete a currently configured array.
Restore Old Configuration (the F6 key)—restores the configuration that was there
before you entered the utility.
Edit Options (the F7 key)—edits the physical drive option status boxes located in the top
right corner of the Physical Drive Information window. The options are as follows:
— WC-OFF—enables or disables write cache.
CAUTION: Enabling write cache may cause data loss or corruption during an unexpected
loss of power.
— DMA-ON—enables or disables Direct Memory Access (DMA) transfers, in which
data is transferred directly from the memory to the hard drive without microproccesor
intervention.
Pressing the F7 key will allow you to enable or disable these options. Press the F7 key, move
the cursor to the desired box, and then press the spacebar to select the option. When enabled,
the option status boxes will change from red to green.
• Save and Exit (the F10 key)—saves the configuration and exits the utility.
If you do not want to save the configuration or any changes that you have made, press the Esc
key. Respond appropriately to the subsequent message boxes requiring confirmation.
