Resetting drives to non-RAID status
To troubleshoot or repair incompatible RAID configurations,
failed RAID volumes, or failed drives within a RAID volume,

problems can be resolved.
To reset drives to non-RAID status:
1 Start (or restart) your computer. During startup, the
RAID option screen appears.

5 Type Y to confirm the drive reset.
Adding or replacing a RAID drive
If your computer supports hot swapping (adding or replacing
a drive without turning off the computer), you can replace a
failed RAID drive with a working drive that is the same size
or larger than the other array drives. When you add or replace
a drive in an array, the array begins rebuilding the drive.
To replace a failed RAID drive:
• Insert the new drive in the same drive slot as the failed
drive. Your new drive acts as a “hot spare” for the array.
