The names of selected drives appear in the box on the right side of the screen. To select drives on a different channel (if necessary) press to select another channel and then select the drives from the SCSI IDs on Channel menu. to deselect the drive you most recently added , press . CAUTION A warning appears if you select a disk that has partitions. Do not select disks with partitions if they contain data you want to keep, because any existing data will be erased when the disk becomes part of the array. When you have selected the number of drives you specified in Step 8, the next screen appears automatically. If you are creating a RAID 1 array and if there are any unassigned drives, the screen prompts you to define spare drives for the array. 10 If you do not want a spare, type n and continue with step 12. If you want to select dedicated spares, follow these steps: a At the prompt, type y. C Select one or two spares, using the same method you used to select disks for the array.

Select Low-Level Format only if the drives were previously formatted on another system or if you are using drives other than new HP accessory drives (where there's a possibility of surface defects). Low-level formatting takes a long time for large disk drives. (Refer to the section "Initializing an Array" on page 17 for more information. ) 12 When the menu of block sizes appears, select a block size. (This menu does not appear for RAID 1 arrays. ) The default block size (64 KBytes) gives the best overall performance. The allowable block sizes are 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 KBytes. 13 When you see the message Initialization of [array name] is complete, press any key to return to the Disk Array Operations menu. [. . . ] q: Can I connect a third SCSI drive to the Narrow SCSI controller. A: You can connect a third drive to the Symbios controller, but both the Symbios BIOS and FastRAID BIOS cannot be loaded at the same time. That means that you cannot boot from both SCSI devices at the same time. If you only need to boot from the Symbios SCSI occasionally, then you can disable (from BIOS setup) the Internal Wide 16-bit SCSI Option ROM Scan and enable the Symbios SCSI Option ROM Scan to boot on the Symbios SCSI.
