2.Follow the screen instructions to create and configure a RAID volume. Ensure that the volume is designated as the boot device when creating the volume (you can verify it is the boot volume after it has been created by using the custom configuration menu option in the main menu of the RCU).

Caution: Do not install OSMs (Operation System Service Modules) downloaded from OS vendor websites. An OSM is the operating system half of the I2O split driver model.
