C. Rebuilding an Array
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies only
to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1 arrays. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a
failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive must have equal or greater capacity than the old one.)
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Use either the RAID setup utility or
the GIGABYTE RAID CONFIGURER utility in the operating system to perform the rebuild.
• Rebuilding with the RAID setup utility
Step 1:
When the message "Press <Ctrl-G> to enter RAID Setup Utility" appears, press <Ctrl> + <G> to enter the util-
ity. In the Main Menu block, select Rebuild Mirror Drive and press <Enter>. The selection bar will move to
the degraded array. Press <Enter> again.
