Appendix

Rebuilding an Array:
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies
only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 10 arrays. To replace the old drive, make sure
to use a new drive of equal or greater capacity. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to re-
place a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array.

While in the operating system, make sure the chipset drivers and ATi SB700/750 RAID Utility have been
installed from the motherboard driver disk. Then launch the AMD RAIDXpert from All Programs in the Start
Menu
.

Step 1:
Enter the login ID and password (default: "admin"),
and then click Sign in to launch AMD RAIDXpert.

Step 2:
Select the RAID array to be rebuilt under Logical
Drive View
and click the Rebuild tab in the Logi-
cal Drive Information
pane.

Step 3:
Select one available drive and click Start Now to
start the rebuilding process.

Step 4:
The rebuilding progress is displayed on the
screen and you can select Pause/Resume/
Abort/Restart during the rebuilding process.

Step 5:
When done, the array's status on the Information page
in the Logical Drive Information pane will display as
Functional.
