3.1.5 Delete Arrays

Highlight the Delete command from the toolbar, and press the Enter key.

The BIOS utility will display a list of available RAID arrays. Select the array

you wish to delete, and press the Enter key.

The utility will display a warning message. Press Y (yes) to delete the

array, or select N (no) to cancel.

Warning: All data stored on the array will be lost – do not delete if the

array contains critical data.

3.1.6 Add/Remove Spare Disks

The Add/Remove Spare command is used to assign a hard disk to act as a

Spare Disk. Spare Disks are used to automatically rebuild Redundant

RAID arrays (RAID 1, 5, 10) in the case of disk failure. As with creating

RAID arrays, disks must be initialized before they can be used as spares.

To set a hard disk to act as a Spare Disk, use the arrow keys to select the

target disk from the list of initialized disks, and press the Enter key. To

remove the Spare Disk setting from a hard disk, highlight the spare disk,

and press the Enter key. Generally, single disks are designated to act as

spares (disks that are not configured into RAID arrays). However, in some

instances, disks that are members of RAID arrays may also be designated

to act as a spare. If the disks in question are part of a RAID array that did

not utilize the full available capacity at the time of creation, these disks

may be used as spares.
