NOTICE:
If a physical disk is a member of a disk group that contains multiple virtual
disks and one of the virtual disks is deleted when a rebuild operation is in progress,
the rebuild operation stops. If this occurs, you can resume the rebuild operation
manually using a storage management application. To avoid interruption, ensure
that none of the virtual disks are deleted until the rebuild is complete.

Settings box.

<Enter> to apply the selection.
The controller BIOS is enabled. To disable the controller BIOS, use the
spacebar to deselect the Enable Controller BIOS control, and then select
Apply and press <Enter>.
