RAID array from the server, you first need to delete the array using
ServerView RAID Manager.

CAUTION!
RAID 0 provides no data redundancy.
In case of an HDD module is defect, all data
are lost!
Removing an HDD module from a RAID 1 or RAID 5
array will not result in data loss.
However, the removed drive needs to be replaced
immediately by an HDD module of the same or larger
capacity.

After replacing the HDD module, RAID rebuild
will be performed as a background process,
