Managing an Existing Array

You can manage an existing array in the following ways:

Making the Array Bootable

Select Display Boot Order from the Main Menu. The Boot Order for

 

 

Singles and Arrays window appears.

 

2

If the newly created array is listed as Unit 0 at the top of the list, no

 

 

changes are necessary; if it has some other unit number, highlight

 

 

the array name and press

to select it.

 

3

Use the arrow keys to move the selected array to the top of the list.

 

 

Then press

to deselect it.

one-drive RAID 0 “array” from the disk.
