Deleting RAID Sets
1. As the BIOS boots, press CTRL+S or F4 to enter the raid bios utility.

2. Select "Delete RAID set." Press Enter.

3. Answer "Y" to remove the RAID set. If the RAID set being deleted is

a Striped set, then all of the data will be lost. If the set being deleted

is a Mirrored set, then the data will remain intact and accessible on

both drives.

Rebuilding Mirrored Sets
1. After replacing the failed hard drives, boot the BIOS, then press CTRL+S

or F4 to enter the RAID BIOS utility.

2. Select "Rebuilding Mirrored Set." Press Enter.

3. Select "Online Rebuild” or “Offline Rebuild."

4. Answer "Y" to rebuild the Mirrored set of the hard drive.

Resolving Conflict
When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk includes

drive connection information (primary and secondary). If, after a disk

failure, the replacement disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used

in another system), it may have conflicting metadata, specifically in

reference to the drive connection information. If so, this will prohibit the

RAID set from being either created or rebuilt. For the RAID set to function

properly, this old metadata must be first overwritten with the new metadata.

To resolve this, select "Resolve Conflicts," and the correct metadata,

including the correct drive connection information, will be written to the

replacement disk.
