3. After array mode is selected, there are two methods to create a disk array. One method is .
Auto Setup. and the other one is .Select Disk Drives. Auto Setup allows BIOS to select the
disk drives and create arrays automatically, but it does not duplicate the mirroring drives even
if the user selected Create and duplicate for RAID 1. It is recommended all disk drives are
new ones when wanting to create an array. Select Disk Drives lets the user select the array
drives by their requirements. When using Select Disk Drives, the channel column will be
activated. Highlight the target drives that you want to use and press <Enter> to select them.
After all drives have been selected, press <Esc> to go back to the creation steps menu.
