4 Technical Information Using the ArrayConfig Program Using Express Setup To create an array using Express Setup, you will need to do the following: 1 Select the ArrayConfig menu option by pressing the hot key - the letter that appears in a different color. (The hot key letters are underlined in the following instructions). You can also press the ↑ and ↓ keys until the option is highlighted and then press . 2 Insert the ArrayConfig utility disk in drive A and reboot your computer. The ArrayConfig utility will start automatically. 3 Read the text that appears on the initial ArrayConfig screens. Press any key to view the next screen, or press to return to the previous screen. 4 When you see the Setup Type Selection Menu, select Express Setup. 5 When the next screen appears, select the type of array you want to create: • Select Optimized for Performance if you want the fastest possible data input and output from the new array. This type of array does not have special data protection features, however. • Select Optimized for Data Protection if your main concern is to protect the files on the array from disk failure. This type of array safeguards files in the array even if one of the array disks fails. To use this option, two disk drives are required. 6 At the prompt, enter the number of drives to use in the array. You can create either a one- or two-drive array with the Express Setup. NOTE When you select a single hard drive for RAID 0, the drive will be striped and optimized using the ARO-1130's cache memory, but no actual array will be created. A single drive optimized in this way, although significantly faster, will not provide the same level of performance as a two-drive RAID 0 array. 7 When the next menu appears, select the type of application that you will run on your computer. (Select Other Applications if you are not sure what type of application you will use.) ArrayConfig will use your answer to create the best array configuration for your applications. English 123

Technical Information
Using the ArrayConfig Program
Using Express Setup
To create an array using Express Setup, you will need to do the
following:
1
Select the Array
Config
menu option by pressing the hot key
— the
letter that appears in a different color.
(The hot key letters are
underlined in the following instructions). You can also press the
↑
and
↓
keys until the option is highlighted and then press
2
Insert the Array
Config
utility disk in drive A and reboot your
computer. The Array
Config
utility will start automatically.
3
Read the text that appears on the initial Array
Config
screens. Press
any key to view the next screen, or press
to return to the
previous screen.
4
When you see the Setup Type Selection Menu, select
Express Setup
.
5
When the next screen appears, select the type of array you want to
create:
•
Select
Optimized for Performance
if you want the fastest possible data
input and output from the new array. This type of array does not
have special data protection features, however.
•
Select
Optimized for Data Protection
if your main concern is to protect
the files on the array from disk failure. This type of array
safeguards files in the array even if one of the array disks fails. To
use this option, two disk drives are required.
6
At the prompt, enter the number of drives to use in the array. You
can create either a one- or two-drive array with the Express Setup.
NOTE
When you select a single hard drive for RAID 0, the drive will be striped
and optimized using the ARO-1130’s cache memory, but no actual array
will be created. A single drive optimized in this way, although
significantly faster, will not provide the same level of performance as a
two-drive RAID 0 array.
7
When the next menu appears, select the type of application that you
will run on your computer. (Select
Other Applications
if you are not sure
what type of application you will use.) Array
Config
will use your
answer to create the best array configuration for your applications.
