Assigning Array Properties

Once you've create a new array, you are ready to assign the properties to the ar- ray.

*Caution: Once the array is created and its properties are assigned, you cannot change the array properties using the ACU. You will need to use the Adaptec Storage Manager - Browser Edition. (Refer to Adaptec's User's Guide in the enclosed CD.)

To assign properties to the new array:

1.In the Array Properties menu (as shown in the screen below), select an array type and press Enter.

Note: only the available array types: RAID 0, and RAID1, are displayed on the screen. (*RAID 0 or RAID 1 requires two drives.)
