For example, if two drives are connected to the Smart Array card, the setup defaults to RAID 1. HP recommends selecting this option when initially provisioning a server. CAUTION: Selecting this choice resets all disks (and arrays, if any are present). Because no arrays or disk data are present during a first-time setup, this does not affect your server. However, if you choose this option when reprovisioning your server, you can lose your data and any disk arrays.
