Degraded RAID Array

A RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 volume is reported as degraded when one of its hard

drive members fails or is temporarily disconnected, and data mirroring is lost. As a

result, the system can only utilize the remaining functional hard drive member. To

re-establish data mirroring and restore data redundancy, refer to the procedure below

that corresponds to the current situation.

Missing Hard Drive Member

1. Make sure the system is powered off.
2. Reconnect the hard drive.
3. Reboot the system to Windows; the rebuild will occur automatically.
Failed Hard Drive Member

1. Make sure the system is powered off.
2. Replace the failed hard drive with a new one that is of equal or greater capacity.
3. Reboot the system to Intel RAID Option ROM by press and keys

simultaneously during the Power-On Self Test (POST).

4. Select the port of the destination disk for rebuilding, and then press ENTER.
