Auto Configuration with Redundancy - This option configures RAID 1 for systems
with 2 drives or RAID 5 for systems with 3 or more drives. All available physical drives
will be included in the logical drive using all available capacity on the disks.

Note: Hot spare drives must be designated before starting auto configuration using
all available capacity on the disks.

Auto Configuration without Redundancy - Configures all available drives as a RAID
0 logical drive.

Custom Configuration - Lets you specify configuration options.

If there is a configuration mismatch between the disks and the
NVRAM, the utility automatically displays the Select Configuration
screen. Choose whether the configuration should be read from the
RAID array or from NVRAM.
