System Configuration Setup
Configuring MegaRAID IDE

Bootable

This determines which of the configured arrays should be used for
booting the system when MegaRAID IDE is selected as the boot
device. The options are Yes or No.

You can select the boot device from the system BIOS setup. Only
one array is allowed to be bootable in a system.

Drive Size

This field cannot be edited. It displays the size of the array. When
the array type is stripe, the drive size is the total of all the drives
selected (one or more drives.) When mirror, drive size is shown by
individual drive, and when spare pool, drive size shows the total
drive capacity.

Build Array

The Build Array option is valid for RAID 1 (Mirror) only. It is
used to rebuild the array using a drive from the SPARE POOL.
When Build Array starts, it will prompt the user to select the target
drive. It does this because both drives can be still online. Once the
target drive is selected, the rebuild will start.

NOTE: A drive Rebuild can take a long time depending on
the size of the drive. A 2 GB (UDMA 5) drive takes two min-
utes to rebuild when DMA mode is enabled.
