Resetting disks to Non-RAID

An HDD that has been previously configured as part of another RAID set

in another platform is called a broken RAID HDD. When you install a broken

RAID HDD, you cannot select this disk when configuring a RAID set through

the Intel

Matrix Storage Manager option. If you still want to use this

broken RAID HDD as part of the RAID set configured through the Intel

Matrix Storage Manager, you may do so by resetting the disk to Non-RAID.

You will, however, lose all data and previous RAID configurations.

To reset disks to Non-RAID:

1. In the main Intel

Matrix Storage Manager RAID BIOS menu, highlight Reset

Disks to Non-RAID using the up/down arrow key then press <Enter>.

2. Use the space bar to select the HDD to reset to Non-RAID.

3. A dialogue box appears to confirm the action. Press <Y> to confirm;

otherwise, press <N>.

Pressing <Y> deletes all the data in the HDDs.

When you have finished, highlight Exit using the up/down arrow key then press

<Enter> to exit the Intel

Matrix Storage Manager RAID BIOS utility.

A dialogue box appears to confirm the action. Press <Y> to confirm; otherwise, press

<N> to return to the Intel

Matrix Storage Manager RAID BIOS menu.
