Configuring
RAID
The
RAID
configuration
feature
that
is
part
of
the
EasyStartup
program
enables
you
to
view
and
change
RAID
settings
for
supported
RAID
controllers.
Through
this
feature,
you
have
the
ability
to
select
one
RAID
level
for
each
installed
controller,
and
the
program
automatically
will
use
the
discs
currently
attached
to
the
controller
to
support
that
RAID
level.
This
method
satisfies
most
users'
needs.

RAID
and

the
secondary
RAID,

program.
This
method
enables
you
to
use
the
EasyStartup
program
to
configure
your
RAID
controller
and

the
operating
system.
After
the
operating
system

configuration
utility
provided
