RocketRAID BIOS Utility

2 - Creating RAID Arrays

Initializing Disks:

Before creating a RAID array, the disks must be initialized. Disk initialization writes

necessary RAID configuration information to the hard disks.

1. From the Disk window, highlight the target disks using the arrow keys, then

select using Enter. A numeral will be displayed before each selected disk.

2. Once all target disks have been selected, select Disk from the tool bar, then

highlight Initialize and press Enter.

3. The utility will display a warning, and ask you to press Y (yes) to initialize, or N

(no) to cancel. Once initialized, these disks can be used to create RAID arrays.

Warning: Initialization will destroy all pre- existing data on the selected hard

disks. Only initialize disks that do not contain critical data. Disks only need to

be initialized once.

Disks do not have to be re-initialized after an array is deleted, or before creating a

new array.
