Creating Your Disk Array
You will now use the FastBuild BIOS utility to create your array using the attached drives. There are
two different scenarios in creating this array. You can create an array for performance, you can create
a Security array using new hard drives (recommended).
WARNING: If creating a Security array using an existing hard drive, backup any
necessary data. Failure to follow this accepted PC practice could result in data
loss.
1. Boot your system. If this is the first time you have booted with RAID, the FastBuild BIOS will
display the following screen.
