Creating Arrays
Before creating arrays, make sure the disks for the array are connected and
installed in your system. Note that disks with no usable space, or disks that
are uninitialized are shown in gray and cannot be used. See Initializing
Disk Drives.
To create an array:
1. Turn on your computer and press Ctrl+A when prompted to access the
ARC utility.
2. From the ARC menu, select Array Configuration Utility (ACU).
3. From the ACU menu, select Create Array.
4. Select the disks for the new array and press Insert. To deselect any disk,
highlight the disk and press Delete.
5. Press Enter when both disks for the new array are selected. The Array
Properties menu displays.
Assigning Array Properties
MSI Reminds You...
Once the array is created and its properties are assigned, you
cannot change the array properties using the ACU. Instead, use
Adaptec Storage Manager - Browser Edition.
To assign properties to the new array:
1. In the Array Properties menu, select an array type and press Enter. Note
that only the available array types, RAID 0 and RAID 1, are displayed.
Each of these types requires two drives.
2. Type in an optional label for the array and press Enter.
3. For RAID 0, select the desired stripe size. Available stripe sizes are 16, 32,
and 64 KB (default).
