DEFINE ARRAY

The Define Array menu defines array parameters for the selected array. An array number is selected by using the up/down key to select the array number field. The SEL key is then used to select array number 1-4.

The parameter to be configured, RAID Level or Stripe Block size, is then selected with up/down keys. Once the parameter is selected, the value is selected with the up/down keys and then set by hitting the SEL key. If the Exit key is hit instead of the SEL key the parameter value is not modified and the user may then select a different parameter.
