Option 2

Delete RAID set

This item allows you to remove a RAID Array on this onboard Serial ATA RAID controller.

NOTE: After you have made and confirmed this selection, all the data stored in the hard disk will be lost. (The entire partition configuration will be deleted too.)

Option 3

Rebuild Raid1 setThis item allows you to rebuild only “Mirrored” RAID set.

You need to check which hard disk is the source disk and which one is the destination disk when you decide to rebuild mirrored RAID set.

Option 4

Resolve Conflicts

When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk includes drive connection information (Primary Channel, Secondary Channel).

If, after a disk failure, the replacement disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used in another system), it may have conflicting metadata, specifically in reference to the drive connection information. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set from being either created or rebuilt.

In order for the RAID set to function properly, this old metadata must be first overwritten with the new metadata. To resolve this, select “Resolve Conflict”. The correct metadata, including the correct drive connection information, will then be written to the replacement disk.

NOTE: For more information on RAID function, please refer to the RAID Management Software enclosed in the CD that came packed with this motherboard.

Option 5

Low Level Format

This item allows you to do the “Low Level Format” for each single HDD one at a time.

Option 6

Logical Drive InfoThis item displays the drive information of the RAID type you had built.
