Chapter 4

Resetting disks to Non-RAID

An HDD that has been previously configured as part of another RAID set

in another platform is called a broken RAID HDD. When you install a broken
RAID HDD, you cannot select this disk when configuring a RAID set through
the Intel

®

Matrix Storage Manager option. If you still want to use this

broken RAID HDD as part of the RAID set configured through the Intel

®

Matrix Storage Manager, you may do so by resetting the disk to Non-RAID.
You will, however, lose all data and previous RAID configurations.

To reset disks to Non-RAID:

1.

In the main Intel

®

Matrix Storage Manager RAID BIOS menu, highlight Reset

Disks to Non-RAID using the up/down arrow key then press .

2.

Use the space bar to select the HDD to reset to Non-RAID.

3.

A dialogue box appears to confirm the action. Press to confirm;

otherwise, press .

Pressing deletes all the data in the HDDs.

When you have finished, highlight Exit using the up/down arrow key then press
to exit the Intel

®

Matrix Storage Manager RAID BIOS utility.

A dialogue box appears to confirm the action. Press to confirm; otherwise, press
to return to the Intel

®

Matrix Storage Manager RAID BIOS menu.
