2. Select Array Mode and press , a list of array modes will appear. Highlight the target array mode that you want to
create, and press to confirm the selection. If RAID 1 or RAID 0/1 is selected, an option list will popup and enable the
users to select Create only or Create and duplicate. Create only will allow BIOS to only create an array. The data on the
mirroring drive may be different from the source drive. Create and duplicate lets BIOS copy the data from the source to the
mirroring drive.
3. After array mode is selected, there are two methods to create a disk array. One method is “Auto Setup” and the other one is
“Select Disk Drives”. Auto Setup allows BIOS to select the disk drives and create arrays automatically, but it does not
duplicate the mirroring drives even if the user selected Create and duplicate for RAID 1. It is recommended all disk drives are
new ones when wanting to create an array. Select Disk Drives lets the user select the array drives by their requirements. When
using Select Disk Drives, the channel column will be activated. Highlight the target drives that you want to use and press
to select them. After all drives have been selected, press to go back to the creation steps menu.
