RAID Configuration and Management
— Build Array—is used to rebuild the array using a spare drive. When Build
Array starts, it prompts the user to select the target drive, and then the rebuild
starts. This option applies only to RAID 1 and RAID 1+0 arrays.
— Initialize Array—is used to clear the configuration information from drives
attached to the Integrated ATA RAID controller.
•
Delete Array (F5)—allows you to delete a currently configured array.
•
Restore Old Configuration (F6)—restores the configuration that was there
before you entered the utility.
•
Edit Options (F7)—edits the physical drive option status boxes located in the
top right corner of the Physical Drive Information window. The options are as
follows:
— WC-OFF—enables or disables write cache.
— DMA-ON—enables or disables DMA (direct memory access) transfers, in
which data is transferred directly from the memory to the hard drive without
microprocessor intervention.
Pressing the F7 key allows you to enable or disable these options. Press the F7
key, move the cursor to the desired box, and then press the spacebar to check off
the option. When enabled, the option status boxes change from red to green.
•
Save and Exit (F10)—saves the configuration and exits the utility.
If you do not want to save the configuration or any changes that you have made,
press the Esc key. Respond appropriately to the subsequent message boxes
requiring confirmation.

CAUTION: Enabling write cache may cause data loss or corruption during an
unexpected loss of power.
