The following method can be used to define the configurations.

Configuration pins set to FAST (RAID-0), SAFE (RAID-1):

A.While the system is powered-up

I. Any configuration change is ignored

II.Physical drive change rules: no drivers accepted; in SAFE (RAID-1) mode, a single driver change will be accepted with normal driver rules (larger or equal to existing drive)

B. Upon power-up, but with no pushbutton (reset) press

I.Any configuration change is ignored

II.Physical drive change rules: no drivers accepted; in SAFE (RAID-1) mode, a single driver change will be accepted with normal driver rules (larger or equal to existing drive which must be present)

C.Upon power-up and momentary pushbutton (reset) pressed

I.Only new configuration changes are explicitly accepted (if possible) and all new drives are explicitly accepted if there is a new configuration
