RAID Function Support (on selected model)
For models support RAID function, you must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create
a RAID set from the built-in hard disk drives.
WARNING! Building a RAID set will clear all your data on both the primary disk drive
and the secondary disk drive, including Express Gate. Ensure that you’ve made a
backup before creating a RAID set.
The recovery partition will be deleted after you create a RAID set. You can only install
the system OS with the recovery DVD or a retail OS disc.
Only models with two hard disk drives may support this RAID function.
