Deleting a RAID Volume
NOTE:
While this procedure deletes the RAID 1 volume, it also splits the RAID 1
volume into two non-RAID hard drives with a partition, and leaves any existing data
files intact.

Manager → Intel Matrix Storage Console to launch the Intel ®
Matrix
Storage Manager.

Selected box, and then click Next.
