Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S Software User’s Guide

■You cannot make a non-00 array bootable if the array is in a

build/verify or reconfiguration process.

Caution: The controller always uses the lowest numbered

array as its bootable array. If you delete array 00 for any

reason, the next lowest numbered array will become the

bootable array. Use the Ctrl+B option to mark the correct

array as the bootable array (by making it array 00).

If you want to boot from a stand-alone (single) disk drive, first

create a volume on that disk.

The system BIOS provides additional tools to modify the boot

order. For more information, refer to your system documentation.

Deleting Arrays

Caution: Back up the data on an array before you delete it. All

data on the array is lost when you delete the array. Deleted

arrays cannot be restored.

To delete an existing array:

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 wish to delete and press Delete.

5In the Array Properties dialog box, press Delete again and

press Enter. The following prompt is displayed:

Warning!! Deleting will erase all data from the

array.

Do you still want to continue? (Yes/No):

6Press Yes to delete the array or No to return to the previous

menu. At the Array Properties dialog box, select Delete again

and press Enter.

7Press Esc to return to the previous menu.
