RAID Configuration and Management Drive Connection Tips • If you have two drives, connect one on each ATA/100 RAID channel. Utilizing both channels enhances array performance. • When attaching new drives to the array, be sure that any pre-existing configuration information has been cleared from the new drive. This may be accomplished by doing one of the following: - Running the SmartStart Erase Utility on the drive (running SmartStart with only the new drive connected) - Noting the position of the drive and editing any arrays (containing the newly added drive) presented in the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility • Use the same type of drives or drives with similar capability (in terms of speed and capacity). • Do not use dissimilar drives on the same channel. • Always use 80-conductor Ultra ATA cables. • Be sure that proper jumper settings are used. For more information, refer to Chapter 1, "Component Identification." • Do not connect any ATAPI devices (such as CD, ZIP, or LS120) to the ATA controller. Configuration and Setup Tips • To change the array configuration, back up the data first. When an array configuration changes, previous data in that array is lost. NOTE: If you do not select a RAID level for a newly added drive, then the controller configures the drive as a stand-alone RAID 0.
