c.Select the disk drive that is to be included in the array. (You can identify the disk drive by highlighting its Unique ID in this list and pressing F9. This causes the Check light on the disk drive to flash. Pressing F10 stops the light flashing.)

The previous window reappears now showing the selected disk drive as a member of the array.

7.When you have selected all the disk drives required, create the array by pressing Esc and following the prompt to confirm the creation of the array.

The screen shown in step 4 reappears now showing the new array in the list. If the new array is a RAID-5 array, it is shown with rebuilding status while the adapter initializes the array and its member disk drives.
