WARNING To prevent data loss, do not accept the new configuration,
unless you have backed-up all data on the disk drives. When
applying a new configuration to the disk array, all data will be
lost on the newly configured drives.

configuration and overwrite the old.
NOTE In Assisted Configuration, the Add Logical Drive functions
similarly to the New Configuration option. In each case, RAID

Manual Configuration
Manual Configuration provides four options:
• Edit Configuration - Displays the current configuration (disk arrays and
logical drives), and allows you to make any changes required.
• New Configuration - Sets up a new configuration on the controller,
deleting the previous configuration and data (if any).
• Add Logical Drive - Sets up additional arrays (logical drives) leaving the
existing array(s) intact. At least one array must be configured on this
controller and un-configured drive space must remain.
