Create Arrays:
Select Create from the toolbar and press the Enter key.
1. Use the arrow keys to select the RAID level and press the Enter key.
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Array Name option and press the Enter key. The array name dialogue box
will appear. Use the keyboard to input a new Array Name, and press the Enter key.
Note: The Array Name command is optional – it is not necessary to name the array. The array can be named at a
later time, and the name of the array can be changed at any time.
3. On the Create menu, use the arrow keys to highlight the Select Devices item and press the Enter key. A device
list will appear, and display all available hard disk drives.
4. Highlight the target disks that you want to use, and press the Enter key to select them. A numeral will be
displayed before each selected disk. This number designates disk order. After all of the disks have been
selected and press the ESC key to return to the Create Menu.
5. Next, Use the↓arrow key to highlight the Capacity (GB) option and press the Enter key. The total available
capacity will be displayed. Press the Enter key if you wish to use all available space. If you wish to reserve disk
space for additional arrays/single disks, use the keyboard to input the amount of space (in GB) you wish to set
aside for this particular array, and press the Enter key.
Note: Multiple arrays can be created using the same set of hard disk drives. The Capacity option allows you to set
aside disk space that be used to create another array, set as a spare disk, or partitioned to act as a single disk (by
the operating system).
