All disks must be SAS (with SMART support).

Disks must have 512-byte blocks and must not have removable media.

There must be three drives in a valid volume.

6.(Optional) Add a hot spare to the volume by moving the cursor to the Hot Spare column and pressing the + key, - key, or space bar.

7.When the volume has been fully configured, press C and select Save Changes, then exit this menu to commit the changes.

The Configuration Utility will pause while the array is being created.
