5.5 Delete Arrays
Highlight the Delete command from the toolbar, and press Enter key.
The BIOS utility will display a list of available RAID arrays. Select the array you wish to delete, and press
Enter key.
The utility will display a warning message. Press Y (yes) to delete the array, or select N (no) to cancel.
Warning: All data stored on the array will be lost – do not delete if the array contains critical data.
5.6 Add/Remove Spare Disks
This Add/Remove Spare command is used to assign a hard disk to act as a Spare Disk. Spare Disks are used
to automatically rebuild Redundant RAID arrays (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10, 50) in the case of disk failure. As with
creating RAID arrays, disks must be initialized before they can be used as spares. To set a hard disk to act
as a Spare Disk, use the arrow keys to select the target disk from the list of initialized disks, and press
Enter key. To remove the Spare Disk setting from a hard disk, highlight the spare disk, and press Enter key.
