Using Adaptec RAID Configuration

2From the ARC menu, select Array Configuration Utility.

3From the ACU menu, select Manage Arrays.

4From the List of Arrays dialog box, se lect the arra y you want to

view information on and press Enter.

The Array Properties dialog box appears, showing detailed

information on the array. The physical disks associat ed with the

array are displayed here, except in the case of dual-level arrays

(RAID 10 and RAID 50, for example). For dual-level arrays,

highlight the displayed member and press Enter to display the

second level. Press Enter again to display the physical disks

associated with the array.

Note: A failed drive is displayed in a different text color.

5Press Esc to return to the previous menu.

Making an Array Bootable

You can make an array bootable so that the system boots from the

array instead of from a stand-alone (single) disk.

To make an array bootable:

1At the BIOS prompt, press Ctrl+A.

2From the ARC menu, select Array Configuration Utility.

3From the ACU menu, select Manage Arrays.

4Select the array you want to make bootable and type Ctrl+B.

This changes the selected array’s number to 00, making it the

controller’s boot array.

5Reboot the system.

If you are booting from the controller, bear in mind the following:

■If the controller is not a boot device, you can disable its runtime

BIOS, see page 2-11. When the BIOS is disabled it will not

occupy any of the expansion ROM region of the system’s

memory map. This may be useful if there are several cards with

an expansion ROM (BIOS) in the system.
