Deleting an Array
Follow these steps to delete a selected volume (array):

The ADAPTER PROPERTIES window appears.
2. Use the arrow keys to select RAID PROPERTIES, and then press ENTER.
The SELECT NEW ARRAY TYPE window appears.

The MANAGE ARRAY window appears.
5. Select DELETE ARRAY.
A menu window appears.
6. Press Y to delete the array, or press N to cancel the deletion process.
After a pause, the utility deletes the array. If there is another remaining array and
one or two hot spare disks, the BIOS checks the hot spare disks to determine if they
are compatible with the remaining volume. If they are not compatible (too small or
wrong disk type), the BIOS deletes them also.
Locating Disk Drives in a Volume
You can use the SAS2 BIOS Configuration Utility to locate and identify a specific
physical disk drive in a disk enclosure by flashing the drive’s LED. You can also flash the
LEDs of all the disk drives in a RAID volume, if they are in a disk enclosure.
When you add a disk drive to a new mirrored volume, the LED on the disk drive starts
flashing. The LED stops flashing when you finish creating the volume.
WARNING: Before you delete an array, be sure to back up all data on the array
that you want to keep.
