Configuring RAID

If your system has one or more supported PERC RAID controllers with PERC 8 firmware or later, or software RAID controllers, use the RAID Configuration wizard to configure a virtual disk as the boot device.
NOTE: Using the operating-system deployment wizard, you can use the RAID controller to configure a single virtual disk as the boot device. Create the boot virtual-disk only using the drives populated in slots 0-3. For more information about the slots, see the documentation of your system at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals
NOTE: To create multiple virtual disks, use the RAID configuration wizard. Depending on the RAID controller, you can access the RAID configuration utility by pressing Control+R or F2 at the POST screen. For more information about using the RAID configuration utility, see the documentation of your system at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
NOTE: If there are any internal storage controller cards on the system, all other external cards cannot be configured. The external cards can be configured only if there are no internal cards.
