◊ Direct: In Direct I/O mode, reads are not buffered in cache memory.
Data is transferred to the cache and the host concurrently. If the same
data block is read again, it comes from cache memory. This is the
default.
◊ Cached: In Cached I/O mode, all reads are buffered in cache memory.
• Disk Cache Policy: Specify the disk cache policy:
◊ Enable: Enable the disk cache.
◊ Disable: Disable the disk cache. This is the default.
◊ NoChange: Leave the current disk cache policy unchanged.
• Disable BGI: Specify the background initialization status:
◊ No: Leave background initialization enabled. This means that a
new configuration can be initialized in the background while you use
WebBIOS to do other configuration tasks. This is the default.
◊ Yes: Select Yes if you do not want to allow background initializations
for configurations on this controller.
• Select Size: Specify the size of the virtual disk in megabytes. Normally,
this would be the full size for RAID 10 shown in the Configuration Panel
on the right. You may specify a smaller size if you want to create other
virtual disks on the same disk group.

Cancel to end the operation and return to the WebBIOS main menu, or click
Back to return to the previous screens and change the configuration.
13. If you accept the configuration, click Yes at the prompt to save the
configuration.
