Low Level Format
Low Level Format is built into the RAID BIOS to make it
more convenient to erase the entire contents of a hard
disk drive, including data, drive and partition
information. The Low Level Format utility works on
single hard drives only, before the RAID set is configured.
BIOS Configuration
SATA II-150 PCI RAID BIOS will appear everytime your
system starts up. If the BIOS doesn't show, please try
your controller in another PCI slot. During this (Post)
process, the BIOS will show up and indicate the hard
drives attached to it. If a failure to your RAID set should
occur, your system boot up will stop at the RAID BIOS set
up screen. To continue, press either Ctrl+R to enter the
RAID BIOS set up or ESC key to continue booting.

This section provides information on how to install the

installation. Otherwise, go directly to step 4.
