Rebuilding an Array:
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding
applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1 or RAID 10 arrays. To replace the old drive, make
sure to use a new drive of equal or greater capacity. The procedures below assume a new drive is
added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array.

While in the operating system, make sure the

chipset drivers

and ATi SB700/750 RAID Utility have

been installed from the motherboard driver disk. Then launch the AMD RAIDXpert from All Programs
in the Start Menu.

Step 1:
Enter the login ID and password (default:"admin"),
and then click Sign in to launch AMD RAIDXpert.

Step 2:
Select the RAID array to be rebuilt under Logical
Drive View
and click the Rebuild tab in the
Logical Drive Information pane.

Step 3:
Select one available drive and click Start Now
to start the rebuilding process.

Step 4:
The rebuilding progress is displayed on the
screen and you can select Pause/Resume/
Abort/Restart
during the rebuilding process.

Step 5:
When done, the array's status on the Information page
in the Logical Drive Information pane will display as
Functional.
