Acer Aspire 9800 Intel Matrix RAID User's Guide - Page 4

English Before enabling RAID on your system Before enabling RAID on your system, please read the following warnings and reminders: 1 If you plan to enable RAID 0 or Matrix RAID on your system, you cannot return your system to a non-RAID state without reformatting your system. 2 If you plan to use a hot-swappable hard disk drive to enable RAID (via the Acer MediaBay), contact an Acer Customer Service Center to make sure that you are using a compatible hot-swappable hard disk drive. Do not remove your hot-swappable hard disk drive while enabling RAID on your system. 3 If you use a hot-swappable hard disk drive with RAID 0, or a Matrix RAID configuration that includes RAID 0, do not remove your hotswappable hard disk drive at any time or your data will be lost. 4 Enabling RAID on your system is a time-intensive process and it is important that your computer stay on during the whole process, or you will be at risk for data loss. Disable your screen saver and power management options such as auto-shutdown, auto-hibernate and auto-standby. Plug your system into an AC adapter before attempting to enable RAID on your system. 5 If your system supports Acer GraviSense, disable it before enabling RAID.
