■
BGI (Back Ground Initialize) is available only for a RAID5 VD
configured with five or more HDDs.
■
To use RAID 5 or RAID 6, with an Internal RAID Controller,
you need to install the optional RAID Upgrade Kit.
■
If the RAID Upgrade Kit is not installed, do not select
"RAID5" that may appear in [RAID Level] box. If selected,
you will fail to save the configuration information. In such a
case, you need to define a VD again from the beginning.
