Creating Arrays

To create an array:

1

For systems with RAID enclosures—Power up any enclosures.

Note:

The ACU may not find disks or enclosures that were

powered up after system power-up. Therefore, power up
enclosures prior to powering up the computer.

2

Shut down and restart the computer.

Note:

After you install a controller in a system and start it

for the first time, the BIOS may display a configuration
that does not match your system’s configuration. This is
normal. Proceed with array creation.

3

Press Ctrl+A when prompted to access the ARC utility.
