HP PCIe IO Accelerator for ProLiant Servers

Software Installation 21
5. Locate and right-click the PCIe IO Accelerator in the list of storage devices on the right. (If
the PCIe IO Accelerator does not appear in the list, choose Rescan Disks from the Action
menu. You may also need to restart your server to display the PCIe IO Accelerator in the list.)
6. Click Initialize Disk.
You can now use the Disk Management Utility to add a file system to your PCIe IO
Accelerator.
Creating a RAID Configuration
You can use your PCIe IO Accelerator as part of a RAID configuration. To do so, you
must format the PCIe IO Accelerator as a dynamic volume. In turn, you can then use
this dynamic volume to create multi-disk RAID configurations (spanned, striped,
mirrored).
For specific steps to perform a RAID configuration, see the Windows Disk
Management Utility documentation for details.
NOTE: If you are using RAID1/Mirroring and one device fails, be sure to run a fio-
format on the replacement device (not the remaining good device) before rebuilding the
RAID.
