Are you sure to create?[y/n]:y

Now the creation of RAID configuration begins and the process is completed unless there is any problem. For RAID status, user “Status(Raid).”

Notes:

1:Before configuring RAID, insert disks to slots and add them to the system. Insert the disks to make pairs in Slot1 and Slot4, and Slot 2 and Slot 5. In this example, Slot 2 and Slot 5 are paired.

2:Enter the number of partitions to create. Then, assign the capacity in MB to each partition. Values of the last partition will be assigned automatically. The partition numbers begin with 1 and the next number is 5 and the following numbers are in ascending order. A certain amount of capacity is reserved for the last partition. Therefore the specifiable range is smaller than actual disk capacity. The actual partition size varies slightly depending on the disk structure.
