3. After array mode is selected, there are two methods to create a disk array. One method is Auto
Setup and the other one is Select Disk Drives. Auto Setup allows BIOS to select the disk drives
and create arrays automatically, but it does not duplicate the mirroring drives even if the user
selected Create and duplicate for RAID 1. It is recommended all disk drives are new ones when
wanting to create an array. Select Disk Drives lets the user select the array drives by their
requirements. When using Select Disk Drives, the channel column will be activated. Highlight the
target drives that you want to use and press <Enter> to select them. After all drives have been
selected, press <Esc> to go back to the creation steps menu.
