11. Either click Back to return to the previous window to change any selections, or click

Finish to accept and complete the configuration.

The new virtual drive is created after you click Finish. After the configuration is
completed, a dialog box notifies you that the virtual drives were created
successfully.

NOTE: If you create a large configuration using drives that are in Power-Save mode, it
could take several minutes to spin up the drives. A progress bar appears as the drives
spin up. If any of the selected unconfigured drives fail to spin up, a dialog box that
identifies these drives appears.
