5.5 Deleting Arrays from the BIOS

This option allows you to delete arrays.

To Delete an Array:
1.

2.

Do one of the following:
a. Highlight each array to delete and press Insert to select it.

Or

b. Type A to select all arrays for deletion.

3.

Press Enter.

4.

Press C to continue.

5.6 Swapping Arrays from the BIOS

Using the Swap Two Arrays option, you can reorder arrays.

Caution!: Deleting an array permanently destroys all data

that was on the array. You will not be able to
undo this action and all data will be lost.

Notes:

1. If you create more than one array, you can
install the operating system to any of them. How-
ever, a small amount of boot information is
always written to a disk in the first array on your
array list regardless of which array you install the
operating system on. If anything happens to that
disk in Array 1, you will not be able to boot.
Broadcom recommends installing on a redundant
array type — such as RAID1 or RAID5 — and
then swapping that array into the first position if it
is not already Array 1.
2. This swap feature is only available from the
BIOS.
