RAID Configuration
Swap Arrays
Use the Swap Two Arrays option to arrange arrays in a different order.
Important

However, a small amount of boot information is always written to a disk(s) in the first
array (Array 1) of the Array section, regardless on which array the operating system is
installed.
If anything happens to a disk in Array 1, the system might not be able to boot. It is
recommended that the user install the operating system on an AMD-RAID bootable
array at a redundant RAID level such as RAID1 or RAID5 and swap the array into the
first position, if it is not already Array 1.
