AMD RAID Configuration
Initializing Disks
New disks and legacy disks must be initialized before they can be used to create an
AMD-RAID array. Initialization writes AMD-RAID configuration information (metadata)
to a disk.
⚠
Important
∙ If a disk is part of an AMD-RAID array, the disk cannot be selected for initialization.
To initial the disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array. Data on the disk is deleted
during initialization so ensure the correct disks are chosen to initialize.
∙ A legacy disk can contain valid data. When a legacy disk is initialized, all data on the
disk is lost.
To initialize disks
1. As previously mentioned, enable RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility.
2. Go to BIOS > SETTINGS > Advanced > RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility > Physical
Disk Management > Select Physical Disk Operations > Initialize Disk sub-menu .
3. Select desired disks by changing the Physical Disk setting to Enabled .
4. Select OK , then press Enter.
5. Review the warning message, if you want to proceed, select YES , then press Enter.
6. Initialization takes 10 to 15 seconds per disk. During initialization, a complete
rescan of all channels is done automatically.
