SAS RAID settings

In the Adapter Properties window, select RAID Properties and press Enter. The main window for SAS
RAID setup is displayed.
The following list describes the items in the main window for SAS RAID setup:
• Create IM Volume: create RAID 1 including two hard disk drives to reserve data. The default Status of the
first hard disk drive is Primary. The RAID 1 is also known as mirror image. The same data is written to the
two hard disk drives at the same time, which, however, operates as a single logical hard disk drive in
the operation system. Therefore, if one of the hard disk drives failed, the other retains a complete copy
of the data. The server can still work normally. The data can be read from the two hard disk drives at
