4 Technical Information
Using the ArrayConfig Program
Select Low-Level Format only if the drives were previously formatted on
another system or if you are using drives other than new HP
accessory drives (where there’s a possibility of surface defects).
Low-level formatting takes a long time for large disk drives. (Refer
to the section “Initializing an Array” on page 130 for more
information.)
12 When the menu of block sizes appears, select a block size. (This
menu does not appear for RAID 1 arrays.)
The default block size (64 KBytes) gives the best overall
performance. The allowable block sizes are 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128
KBytes.
13 When you see the message Initialization of [array name] is complete, press
any key to return to the Disk Array Operations menu.
14 To create additional arrays (if disks are available), return to Step 5.
When all arrays are created, exit from ArrayConfig, remove the
ArrayConfig diskette, and reboot the computer. After you reboot
you can write data to the arrays.
15 Press until you’re back at the Main Menu, and exit ArrayConfig.
16 Begin the installation of Windows NT 4.0 by booting from the floppy
diskettes you made before creating your array.
NOTE
Do not boot from the Windows NT CD-ROM as the hard drive will not be
detected.
17 When prompted, insert your drivers diskette into drive A and
press . When the driver has finished loading, you can
continue with the Windows NT installation. For more information,
refer to your operating system’s documentation on your Drivers
CD-ROM.
