Configuration Hizard guides you through the steps for configuring the RAID
system easily and efficiently. The steps are as follows:
1. Array definitions Group physical drives into arrays.
Zo Logical Drive definitions Define logical drives using those arrays.
3. Conficuration Preview Preview configuration before it is saved.
Please choose appropriate contiguration type:
© Clear Configuration Allows wou to clear existing configuration only.
fet Mew Configuration Clears the existing configuration. If you have any existing data
