Quick Installation

This option is used to create a controller default RAID set, in our example with 6 drives we will generate a RAID 5 set with a spare drive.

Firstly select Quick Installation from the Main Menu and answer YES to the prompt.

The system will then prompt for a RAID level. In this example we will select RAID level 5 + Spare as shown in Figure 4-41.

After this the system will commence building a RAID set and will automatically map the logical drive to LUN 0 of the first host channel.
