Smart Array card, the setup defaults to RAID 1. HPE recommends selecting this option when
initially provisioning a server.
CAUTION:
Selecting this choice resets all disks (and arrays, if any are present). Because no arrays or
disk data are present during a first-time setup, this does not affect your server. However, if
you choose this option when reprovisioning your server, you can lose your data and any disk
arrays. For more information about the HPE Smart Storage Administrator, see the HPE Smart
Storage Administrator User Guide (http://www.hpe.com/support/SSA_UG_en).

needs to be set correctly in RBSU or UEFI System Utilities before installation
