B.RebuildinganArray
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies
only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1 and RAID 10 arrays. The procedures below assume a new drive
is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive must have equal or greater
capacity than the old one.)
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer.
• EnablingAutomaticRebuild
Step 1:
When the message "Press <Ctrl-I> to enter Configuration Utility" appears, press <Ctrl> + <I> to enter the RAID
Configuration Utility. The following screen appears after you enter the RAID Configuration Utility.
Step 2:
Select the new hard drive to add into the array to be rebuilt and press <Enter>. The following screen appears,
indicating that an automatic rebuild will be performed after you enter the operating system. You can access Intel
RapidStorageTechnologyenterprise from AllPrograms in the Start menu. You will see that the status of
the array displays as Rebuilding. If you do not enable automatic rebuild on this stage, you have to manually
rebuild the array in the operating system (see the next page for more details).
