Initialize
Choose this option to initialize the selected logical drive or drives. You can view the progress of initialization. The time required for initialization depends on type and capacity of physical drive.
IMPORTANT: Power Console Plus allows you to initialize a drive at any time. Make sure that the drive being initialized does not have live data. All data will be lost.
Check Consistency

Select the logical drive to be checked and choose [Check Consistency] from the [Logical Drv] menu.
You are prompted to run parity checking. Click on [OK] to perform parity checking.
