Initializing Disks:
All the single disks attached to the RocketRAID controller will be marked as “Legacy” status. A
Legacy disk will be report to operating system as single disk. The Legacy disks must be initialized
before creating a RAID array. To initialized disk, select the Initialize command from the toolbar,
and press the Enter key.
BIOS utility will list all single Legacy disks attached to the RocketRAID controller as below:
Channel: This column identifies each disk attached to the controller (host adapter). It is used to help
identify each disk’s location. The first digit represents the controller (which host adapter the selected
disk is attached to). The second digit represents the disk’s port number (which port number the
selected disk is attached to). If multiple controllers are installed (more than one host adapter card),
the first controller will be designated as “1”, the second controller as “2”, and so on.
For Example:
“1-2” = Controller #1, Port #2
“2-3” = Controller #2, Port #3
Model Number: This column shows the disk model.
