Drive Size—displays the size of the array and cannot be edited. If

the array type is stripe, then the drive size is the total of all the drives

selected. When mirror, drive size is shown by individual drive.

G Build Array—used to rebuild the array using a spare drive. When

Build Array starts, it prompts the user to select the target drive, and

then the rebuild starts. This option applies only to RAID 1 and RAID

0+1 arrays.

■ Delete Array (F5)—allows you to delete a currently configured array.

■ Restore Old Configuration (F6)—restores the configuration that was

there before you entered the utility.

■ Edit Options (F7)—edits the physical drive option status boxes located

in the top right corner of the Physical Drive Information window. The

options are as follows:

G WC-OFF—enables or disables write cache

CAUTION: Enabling write cache may cause data loss or corruption during an

unexpected loss of power.

G DMA-ON—enables or disables DMA transfers

Pressing the F7 key will allow you to enable or disable these options.

Press the F7 key, move the cursor to the desired box, and then press the

spacebar to check off the option. When enabled, the option status boxes

will change from red to green.

■ Save and Exit (F10)—saves the configuration and exits the utility.

If you do not want to save the configuration or any changes that you

have made, press the Esc key. Respond appropriately to the subsequent

message boxes requiring confirmation.
