Configuring the hardware RAID system

If you ordered a device with hardware RAID system, the hardware RAID adapter card is
already installed and configured in the delivery state.
If you subsequently install a hardware RAID adapter card, you then need to configure the
hardware RAID system. Proceed as follows for this:
● First set up a RAID system in the firmware of the hardware RAID adapter card (Array
Configuration).
● Then configure the settings of the hardware RAID adapter card (Configure Controller
Settings)
Requirement
Note
For a hardware RAID system, integrate only drives of the type A drive bay.
● The drives required for the RAID system are installed in the device, see:
– RAID1 system: Installation options for drives (Page 63)
● A hardware RAID adapter card is installed, see "Installing the hardware RAID adapter
card (Page 70)".
