This chapter explains how to start using the RAID according to
different configuration.
If you have installed two new disk drives go to Application 1. If you have installed one drive with
data and one new disk drive go to Application 2.
Application 1: Two new disk drives (identical or non-identical)
1. Lock both drive carriers and it is ready for use.
Application 2: Installing one drive with data and one new drive
1. The new drive must have the same capacity or a larger capacity than the drive with data.
2. Lock the drive with data and leave the new drive unlocked. This identifies the drive with
data as the source drive.
3. Turn on the computer system. .
4. After the boot process is complete, lock the new drive. This identifies the new drive as the
target drive.
5. The system will immediately begin mirroring the data from the source drive to the target
drive. Any old data on the target drive will be lost, and is overwritten with the mirror image of
the source drive.
