Integrating a new drive into an onboard RAID system

The onboard RAID system is configured in the delivery state so that a new drive must be
integrated manually when a defective drive was replaced.
You can also configure the onboard RAID system in such a way that the new drive is
automatically mounted when the defective drive is replaced.
Onboard RAID systems with a hot-spare drive are configured so that the hot-spare drive is
automatically integrated in the event of an error.
Configure "Automatic integration of a new drive" (before replacing a defective drive)
NOTICE
Risk of data loss
If a new drive is automatically integrated, the new drive is not checked for partition
information or existing data.
All partitions and data of the new drive are deleted without warning.
• Insert only a brand new drive or a drive that is configured as a replacement drive.
1. Select "Start" > "Intel® Optane™ Memory and Storage Management".
2. Select the "Manage" menu.
