When you select a RAID policy, the member's disks are automatically configured with the selected RAID level and the appropriate number of spare disks. If you used the Remote Setup Wizard to create a group, the RAID policy for the first member is set according to your RAID policy selection when configuring the software, and the storage is ready to use.
