This password option allows user to set or clear the raid controller’s
password protection feature. Once the password has been set, the
user can only monitor and congure the raid controller by providing
the correct password. The password is used to protect the internal
RAID controller from unauthorized entry. The controller will prompt
for the password only when entering the Main menu from the initial
screen. The SATA RAID controller will automatically return to the
initial screen when it does not receive any command in twenty
seconds.
3.7.1 Quick Volume/RAID Setup
“Quick Volume/RAID Setup” is the fastest way to prepare a RAID
set and volume set. It requires only a few keystrokes to com-
plete. Although disk drives of different capacity may be used in
the RAID set, it will use the capacity of the smallest disk drive as
the capacity of all disk drives in the RAID set. The “Quick Vol-
ume/RAID Setup” option creates a RAID set with the following
properties:
1. All of the physical drives are contained in one RAID set.
2. The RAID level, hot spare, capacity, and stripe size options
are selected during the conguration process.
3. When a single volume set is created, it can consume all or a
portion of the available disk capacity in this RAID set.
4. If you need to add an additional volume set, use the main
menu “Create Volume Set” function.

mine the RAID levels that can be implemented within the RAID
