3. Select the Delete, then press Enter.

4. Select Exit, then press Enter.

5. When asked Are You Sure to Exit(Yes/No)?, select

Yes, then press Enter to exit and reboot.

Low Level Format

Low Level Format is built into the RAID BIOS to make it

more convenient to erase the entire contents of a hard

disk drive, including data, drive and partition

information. The Low Level Format utility works on

singleharddrives only, before the RAID setisconfigured.

BIOS Configuration

SATA II-150 PCI RAID BIOS will appear everytime your

system starts up. If the BIOS doesn't show, please try

your controller in another PCI slot. During this (Post)

process, the BIOS will show up and indicate the hard

drives attached to it. If a failure to your RAID set should

occur, your system boot up will stop at the RAID BIOS set

up screen. To continue, press either Ctrl+R to enter the

RAID BIOS set up or ESC key to continue booting.
