2. Using the arrow keys, move to Advanced, then Onboard Device Configuration and press Enter.
3. Scroll to Onboard Promise Controller and press Enter. hange it to Enabled. Ensure that the operating mode listed is RAID.
4. Press Esc once, scroll to Exit, and choose Save changes and Exit.
5. On reboot, press Ctrl + F when prompted to enter the RAID setup utility.
6. Choose option 3 to define a new array.

8. Under the drive assignment section, set the drive you want in the array.
