Using the ACU
The Array Configuration Utility (ACU) allows you to perform the
following tasks:
■ Creating Arrays
■ Managing Arrays
■ Initializing Drives
■ Rescanning Drives
Creating Arrays
To create an array:
1 For systems with RAID enclosures—Power up any enclosures.
Note: The ACU may not find disks or enclosures that were
powered up after system power-up. Therefore, power up
enclosures prior to powering up the computer.
2 Shut down and restart the computer.
Note: After you install a controller in a system and start it
for the first time, the BIOS may display a configuration
that does not match your system’s configuration. This is
normal. Proceed with array creation.
3 Press Ctrl+A when prompted to access the ARC utility.
