6RX Series Motherboard
Manually Creating an Array
The Define Array <3> option from the Main Menu allows users to begin the process of manually
defining the drive elements and RAID levels for one or multiple disk arrays attached to this
motherboard. Users will commonly create one or two drive arrays with the motherboard, though
the motherboard will support a maximum of four arrays
NOTE: For most installations, We recommends the <1> Auto Setup for easy disk array creation.

A user may use a single drive in either striping mode with system. In this rare scenario,
the motherboard will create an individual array ID but will offer conventional controller
performance, depending on the drive type. At a later time, a second drive can be added to
the array and the array re-created to support RAID 1 mirroring.
