Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer. To enable an automatic rebuild in the operating system, you have to set the new hard drive as a Spare drive in the RAID setup utility first. • Enabling Automatic Rebuild Step 1: When the message "Press + to enter BIOS Setup or to continue" appears, press + to enter the RAID setup utility.

C. Rebuilding an Array
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies
only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1 array. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to re-
place a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive must have equal or greater capacity than
the old one.)
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer. To enable an
automatic rebuild in the operating system, you have to set the new hard drive as a Spare drive in the RAID
setup utility first.
Enabling Automatic Rebuild

When the message "Press <Ctrl>+<M> to enter BIOS Setup or <Space> to continue" appears, press <Ctrl> +
<M> to enter the RAID setup utility. On the main screen,

ter> on
Spare Management
.
Step 2:
The new hard drive will be displayed on the screen. Press <Enter> or <Space> on the new hard drive to select
it and then press <Enter> on
