C. Rebuilding an Array
Rebuilding  is  the  process  of  restoring  data  to  a  hard  drive  from  other  drives  in  the  array.  Rebuilding  applies 
only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 arrays. The procedures below assume a new 
drive  is  added  to  replace  a  failed  drive  to  rebuild  a  RAID  1  array.  (Note:  The  new  drive  must  have  equal  or 
greater capacity than the old one.)
For the Intel Z68:
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restar\
t your computer.
•  Enabling Automatic Rebuild
Step 1:
When	the	message	 "Press		 to	enter	 Configuration	 Utility"	appears,	 press		 +		 to	enter	 the	RAID	Configuration	Utility.	 The	following	screen	appears	after	you	enter	the	RAID	Configuration	Utility.
Step 2:
Select the new hard drive to add into the array to be rebuilt and press . The following screen appears, 
indicating that an automatic rebuild will be performed after you enter the operating system (look for the  Intel 
Rapid  Storage  Technology   icon 
	in	 the	 notification	 area,	which	 will	show	 that	a	RAID	 volume	 is	being	
rebuilt).  If  you  do  not  enable  automatic  rebuild  on  this  stage,  you  have  to  manually  rebuild  the  array  in  the 
operating system (see the next page for more details).
