RAID Configuration
If you have included the optional RAID (Redundant Array of Independent
Disks) configuration in your purchase option, this will allow you to use your
hard disks in combination with Striping (RAID 0) or Mirroring (RAID 1)
for fault tolerance and performance.
RAID Level
Identical drives reading and writing data in parallel to increase
performance. RAID 0 implements a striped disk array and the
RAID 0
data is broken into blocks and each block is written to a sepa-
rate disk drive.
Identical drives in a mirrored configuration used to protect data.
Should a drive that is part of a mirrored array fail, the mirrored
drive (which contains identical data) will handle all the data.
RAID 1
When a new replacement drive is installed, data to the new
drive is rebuilt from the mirrored drive to restore fault tolerance.
The following pages provide a basic introduction to setting up the RAID. For
full instructions consult the FT100Li1_0914 document in Microsoft Word
format on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User's Manual CD-ROM - Navi-
