Degraded RAID Array

A RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 volume is reported as degraded when one of its hard drive members fails or is temporarily disconnected, and data mirroring is lost. As a result, the system can only utilize the remaining functional hard drive member. To re-establish data mirroring and restore data redundancy, refer to the procedure below that corre� sponds to the current situation.

Missing Hard Drive Member

1� Make sure the system is powered off. 2� Reconnect the hard drive.

3� Reboot the system to Windows; the rebuild will occur automatically.

Failed Hard Drive Member

1� Make sure the system is powered off.

2� Replace the failed hard drive with a new one that is of equal or greater capacity.

3� Reboot the system to Intel RAID Option ROM by press <Ctrl> and <I> keys simul� taneously during the Power-On Self Test (POST).
