drive. StorCon displays a warning that all data will be destroyed after confirmation. Confirm
the choice by pressing <Y>. StorCon creates a new host drive.

NOTE
The array build will continue as a background task. Exit StorCon, by pressing <ESC>, and the
array build will continue in the background after BIOS POST upon reboot. You can then proceed
with OS installation while the array continues the build process in the background.
11. When leaving StorCon, by pressing <ESC>, a progress window displays the estimated
completion time for the build process.
