Note: During the UEFI BIOS update process, MRC change might cause memory retraining. Memory
retraining is a process to initialize the memory module and run diagnostic tests for the memory module in
your computer. When memory retraining occurs, the screen might be blank. You might see the LED
indicators on Esc, F1, and F4 blinking sequentially to indicate the progress. Do not press the power button to
interrupt the process. Wait a few minutes until the logo screen is displayed.

RAID

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a technology that provides increased storage functions and
reliability through redundancy. It also can improve data storage reliability and fault tolerance compared with
single-drive storage systems. Data loss resulting from a drive failure can be prevented by reconstructing
missing data from the remaining drives.
When a group of independent physical storage drives is set up to use RAID technology, they are in a RAID
array. This array distributes data across multiple storage drives, but the array appears to the host computer
as one single storage unit. Creating and using RAID arrays provides high performance, such as the expedited
I/O performance, because several drives can be accessed simultaneously.

Storage drive requirements for RAID levels

Your computer supports the M.2 Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) solid-state drive.
Note: Ensure that your computer has two identical storage drives installed (two M.2 NVMe solid-state drives
with the same capacity) for supported RAID levels. If only one drive is installed, or two different types of
drives are installed, the following information does not apply.
Your computer supports the following RAID levels:
