CHAPTER 4: Advanced Hardware Setup Preparing your computer for RAID Setting up RAID on your computer can involve two major steps, depending on how your computer has been configured. To prepare your computer for RAID: 1 Configure the RAID arrays. See the Array Manager User Guide or "Configuring RAID" on page 40. 2 Install the operating system from the Windows disc that came with your computer. Configuring RAID Creating a RAID volume Because RAID can be configured so many ways, this procedure covers only the basics. This procedure assumes that no RAID has been defined yet. To create a RAID volume: 1 Install additional hard drives as needed for your RAID plan. For instructions on installing hard drives, see "Adding or replacing a hard drive" on page 52. 2 Start (or restart) your computer, then press F9 during startup. The MediaShield Utility (RAID setup) screen opens. 3 To create a new array, set RAID Mode to Striping (for RAID 0), then select drives on the left and click Add to add the drives to the array. 4 Press F7, then press Y. The new array is created. 5 Press CTRL+X to exit the utility. Your computer restarts. 6 Install the operating system from the Windows disc that came with your computer. 40
