Using the ARC Utility to Create Arrays
The Adaptec RAID Configuration (ARC) utility is a BIOS-based utility that you can
use to create arrays and manage controllers, disk drives and other devices. The
utility is primarily intended for preoperating system installation configuration.
The utility comprises these tools:
 Array Configuration Utility (ACU) – For creating and managing arrays, and
initializing and rescanning disk drives.
 SerialSelect – For modifying your controller and disk drive settings.
 Disk Utilities – For formatting or verifying disk drives.
To create arrays using this tool:
1. Run the BIOS Setup program of your X500. Make sure that the “Boot-time
Diagnostic Screen” item in the “Advanced” menu is enabled.
2. Start your computer.
When you see the message “Press <Ctrl><A> for Adaptec RAID Configuration
Utility,” press Ctrl + A.
3. Select Array Configuration Utility, then press Enter.
4. Select Initialize Drives if needed.
5. Select Create Arrays.
6. Disk drives that can be used in a new array are available for selection.
Use the up or down arrow key to highlight a physical drive and press Ins to
select the drive for the array. Repeat with other physical drives. Press Enter.
7. Use the Array Properties menu to modify the array’s RAID level, size, name,
stripe size, cache settings, and maxCache settings.
8. Reboot the computer. You can then run Adaptec Storage Manager to check
the array building process. The process takes at least 4 hours.
9. Partition and format your logical drives.
Refer to your operating system documentation for information on partitioning
and formatting.
NOTE: For complete information on the ARC utility, refer to the Installation and
User’s Guide for the RAID controller (in the \User Manual\Raid_6805 folder of
X500 Driver Disc).
