Initialize Disks

New disks and legacy disks must be initialized before they can be used to create an

AMD-RAID array. Initialization writes AMD-RAID configuration information (metadata)

to a disk.

Important

If a disk is part of an AMD-RAID array, the disk cannot be selected for initialization.

To initialize the disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array. Data on the disk is

deleted during initialization so ensure the correct disks are chosen to initialize.
A legacy disk can contain valid data. When a legacy disk is initialized, all data on

the disk is lost.

To initialize disks:

At the “Main Menu”, use the arrow keys to highlight “Initialize Disk(s)”.

1.

Press to select Initialize Disk(s).
Select the disks to initialize by pressing key.
Press to initialize the selected disks.
Press the key to confirm the initialization.
