B-10 Intel RAID
Degraded RAID Array
A RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 volume is reported as degraded when one of its hard
drive members fails or is temporarily disconnected, and data mirroring is lost. As a
result, the system can only utilize the remaining functional hard drive member. To
re-establish data mirroring and restore data redundancy, refer to the procedure below
that corresponds to the current situation.
Missing Hard Drive Member
Make sure the system is powered off.
Reconnect the hard drive.
Reboot the system to Windows; the rebuild will occur automatically.
Failed Hard Drive Member
Make sure the system is powered off.
Replace the failed hard drive with a new one that is of equal or greater capacity.
Reboot the system to Intel RAID Option ROM by press <Ctrl> and <I> keys
simultaneously during the Power-On Self Test (POST).
