AMD RAID Configuration

Initializing Disks

New disks and legacy disks must be initialized before they can be used to create an

AMD-RAID array. Initialization writes AMD-RAID configuration information (metadata)

to a disk.

⚠

Important

∙

If a disk is part of an AMD-RAID array, the disk cannot be selected for initialization.

To initial the disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array. Data on the disk is deleted

during initialization so ensure the correct disks are chosen to initialize.

∙

A legacy disk can contain valid data. When a legacy disk is initialized, all data on the

disk is lost.

To initialize disks

1. As previously mentioned, enable RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility.

2. Go to BIOS > SETTINGS > Advanced > RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility > Physical

Disk Management > Select Physical Disk Operations > Initialize Disk sub-menu.

3. Select desired disks by changing the Physical Disk setting to Enabled.

4. Select OK, then press Enter.

5. Review the warning message, if you want to proceed, select YES, then press Enter.

6. Initialization takes 10 to 15 seconds per disk. During initialization, a complete

rescan of all channels is done automatically.
