Creating a RAID array

You can use RAID BIOS or the MediaShield utility to create the following types
of RAID array.
• Non-bootable array
This is the standard method of using non bootable disks in a RAID array.
• Bootable array
You can configure a RAID array and then install the OS over it.
To create a non-bootable RAID array using RAID BIOS:
1 Enable RAID in the system BIOS. See page 64.
2 After rebooting the system, wait until you see the RAID software
prompting you to press F10.
The RAID prompt appears as part of the system POST and boot process
prior to loading of the OS. You have a few seconds to press F10 before the
prompt disappears.
3 Press F10 to save the configuration and exit.
4 Create the RAID array.
Note: If you have not already created a RAID array, the Define a New Array
screen appears. By default, RAID mode is set to Mirroring and Stripe Block is
set to Optimal.
If you have already created a RAID array, the MediaShield BIOS- Array List
screen appears, listing the arrays in the system. Press N to go to the
MediaShield BIOS- Define a New Array screen.
