Under the RAID Mode section, press the key to select RAID 0. 2. Set the Stripe Block size. 64 KB is the default. 3. Under the Drives Assignments section, press the up or down arrow key to highlight a drive. 4. Press the key or to change the Assignment option to Y. This action adds the drive to the disk array . The Total Drv section will show the number of disks assigned. 5. Press + keys to save the information. The window below will appear. Fast Initialization option has been selected It will erase the MBR data of the disk. Figure 6 6. Press + to clear the MBR or press other keys to ignore this option. Then, the window below will appear. Press Ctrl-Y to Modify Array Capacity or press any other key to use maximum capacity... Figure 7 7. Press + to set the capacity of the RAID array or press other keys to set the array to its maximum capacity. 8. After the creation is complete, the screen will return to Define LD Menu where you will see the newly-created array. 9. Press to return to Main Menu and press again if you want to exit the RAID BIOS utility. View Drive Assignments The View Drive Assignments option in the Main Menu displays whether drives attached to the AMD SB710 controller are assigned to a disk array or are unassigned.

Deleting an existing disk array could result in loss of data. Record all array information including the array type, the disk members, and stripe block size in case you wish to undo a deletion. 1. To delete an array, press <3> in the Main Menu to enter the Delete LD Menu. Then highlight the array you wish to delete and press the key or the + keys. 2. The View LD Definition Menu will appear (as shown in Figure 9) showing which drives are assigned to this array. Press + if you are sure to delete the array or other keys to abort. 3.
