Functions for RAID system management

The preinstalled software of the RAID system offers enhanced functions for using and

managing the RAID system. It can be started via "Start > Programs > Intel Matrix storage

manager.

The command "View -> Advanced Mode" displays the details of the RAID association.
The command "View -> System Report" produces a report with details of the RAID

association.

Notice
The details of the RAID status are produced by default as a Windows event display and

written to the program's log file.
In case of malfunction, a drive can be synchronized at the operating system level. It may

take up to several hours to synchronize a new disk in the background, depending on the size

of the hard disk and on system load.
The redundant system state RAID 1 is reached again only after synchronization is

completed.
