If an installed disk does not appear in the disk selection list for creating a new array or if it appears grayed out you may have to initialize it before you can use it as part of an array Drives attached to the controller must be initialized before they can be used in an array Caution Initializing a disk overwrites the partition table on the disk and makes any data on the disk inaccessible If the drive is used in an array you may not be able to use the array again Do not initialize a disk that is part of a boot array To determine which disks are associated with a particular array please refer to Viewing Array Properties To initialize drives 1 Turn on your computer and press Ctrl A when prompted to access the utility 2 From the ARC menu select Array Configuration Utility ACU as shown on the screen below 4 Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility gt Embedded SATA HostRAID Options Array Configuration Utility Disk Utilities Arrow keys to move cursor Enter to select option Esc to exit x default 3 Select Initialize Drives 4 Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the disk you wish to initialize and press Insert as shown on the following screen B 12 Appendix B Software Installation Select drives for initialization pt jected Drives 00 WDC WD360GD OOGELX1 34 468 91 WDC WD360GD OGELX1 34 468 5 Repeat Step 4 so that both drives to be initialized are selected as shown on

SATA drives The eight SATA drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis These drives are hot swappable meaning they can be removed and installed with out powering down the system To remove a carrier first open the front bezel then push the release button located beside the drive LEDs Swing the handle fully out and then use it to pull the unit straight out Note Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot swap capability of the SATA drives 2 Mounting a SATA drive in a drive carrier The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis These carriers also work to promote proper airflow for the system For this reason even carriers without SATA drives must remain in the server If you need to add a new SATA drive insert the drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws see Figure 6 6 6 6 Chapter 6 Advanced Chassis Setup Figure 6 5 Removing a Serial ATA Drive Carrier Figure 6 6 Mounting a Serial ATA Drive in a Carrier Important Use extreme caution when working around the SATA backplane Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the airflow holes 3 SATA backplane The SATA drives plug into an
