1.1.4 Slice
Open this submenu to partition the array into different slices (identified as Slice 0,
Slice 1 etc.). All RAID capacity is assigned by default to Slice 0 – i.e. to a single
partition.

Slice 0~
1.1.4.G
Slice 15
Input the size in MB of each slice. All RAID capacity is assigned by default to Slice 0.
If the user reduces the size of Slice 0, all excess capacity will be assigned
automatically to Slice 1, and so on through the list. Slices (partitions) are created in
this way. If no capacity is allocated to a slice, that slice will not be created.

ACS-8990/89200/89230 User's Manual
A slice must be mapped to a LUN before it can be accessed. After creating
slices, users should go to the FC (fibre channel) / SCSI Params menu
(depending on ACS-8990 model) to map each to a LUN.
The Control Panel / Monitor Utility readout shows which disks are part of
which array. If the readout shows
are connected: three in array 1, one in array 2 and one as a spare.
