„Save/Restore RAID Configuration Data

The item allows the configuration information on the disk array system to be saved or restored from the floppy disk.

– Save Disk Array Configuration Data

The configuration information on the disk array controller is saved into the floppydisk. If you set or change RAID, always use this function to save the configuration information into a floppy disk.

– Restore Disk Array Configuration Data

The configuration information saved in a floppy disk is restored to NVRAM and hard disk on the disk array controller.

If the configuration information is broken or changed by mistake, restore the configuration information.

When the defected disk array controller is replaced, the configuration information on the hard disk must be saved into the disk array controller.

However, if the configuration information on the new disk array controller is saved into a hard disk, use this function to restore the configuration information.

IMPORTANT: Some Disk Array Controllers do not support this function. In that case, this menu will not be shown.
