disks. The controller is capable of using spare disks to automatically rebuild broken or

faulted RAID arrays.

staggered drive spinup)

View – this command is used to select between two views: Devices (HARD DISKS),

and Arrays (configured RAID arrays).

Before creating a RAID array, the disks must be initialized. Disk initialization writes

necessary RAID configuration information to the hard disks. Select the Initialize

command from the toolbar, and press ENTER.
