Configuration and Setup
Important:
■ If you do not run the configuration utility setup (F8), the option ROM will automatically
configure the drives to RAID 0.
■ You cannot add drives or remove drives from an array that has already been configured.
■ All previous settings are lost when the Auto Configure option is run for RAID 0, RAID 1, and
RAID 0+1 arrays.
■ RAID configurations do not support a stripe size less than 32KB.
■ You cannot change the stripe size of an array that has already been configured.
■ Enabling write cache (under WC-OFF) may cause data loss or corruption during an
unexpected power loss.
If you need to change array configuration, first back up your data. When an array configuration
changes, previous data in that array is lost. Use the table below to troubleshoot configuration and
setup problems:
