AMD RAID

Create Arrays

Arrays can be created after the disks are initialized.

Important

For redundant arrays, the Create process is not finished until after the operating

system and AMD-RAID OS drivers have been installed and the system has booted

to the operating system. However, the arrays are immediately available to use for

either a bootable array or a data array.
If the system is booted from an AMD-RAID bootable array, the first array in the

Arrays section must be the bootable array. The system boots only from the first

array in the Arrays section. As necessary, use the Swap Two Arrays feature to

swap arrays and place the bootable array in the first position.

To create an array:

At the “Main Menu”, use the arrow keys to highlight “Create Array” and press

<Enter>.
