RocketRAID 1720 Driver and Software Installation

4 -

Select the desired RAID level from the drop-down list.

Enter a name for the array using the keyboard (this is optional), and click the Next

button.

If you are creating a redundant array (RAID 1), select an initialization option. If

you are creating a RAID 0 or JBOD (volume), skip to step 6:

For RAID1 arrays, the default initialization method is “No initialization”.

Select which disks are to be used to create the array. Highlight the desired disk

from the left-side of the interface (available disks), then click on the

button

to move the disk to the right side of the interface (selected disks). Disks must be

selected one a time.

If you wish to remove a selected disk, highlight it from the selected disk section,

and use the

button to move it to the available disk section.

Note: The selection sequence is important - the order in which the disks are

selected will determine the disk sequence of the array.

Select the capacity - the RocketRAID 1720 can create arrays between partitions

on various disks. It is not limited to physical hard disk drives. As a result of this

feature, you have the option of assigning a physical disk to multiple RAID

arrays.
