RAID Controller
Take the following into consideration when installing either a S-ATA Disk array
controller or a SCSI Disk array controller. Refer to the manual that comes with the
RAID controller for details.
Prepare the hard disk drives and cables corresponding to the RAID controller to be
installed.
Configure the Logical Settings of the hard disk drive.
Prepare the number of hard disk drives required for desired RAID (Redundant
Array of Inexpensive [Independent] Disks) level.
Installing hard disks in the disk array configuration or changing the RAID level
initializes hard disks. Make sure to backup any valuable data that may be present
on the hard disk drive before installing the disk mirroring controller board and
configuring the array.
Use hard disks of the same capacity and revolution for each pack to configure them
in the array.
The disk array configuration improves disk reliability but provides a smaller disk
capacity than the total capacity of hard disks in the disk array configuration.
When the disk array controller board is replaced, restore the disk array
configuration information in the disk array controller board. Use the configuration
utility for the restoration. Refer to chapter 5 for details.
