一、进入阵列卡配置界面并查看硬盘状态开机看到Lenovo System x Logo的时候按F1键进入BIOS配置界面依次进入System Settings / 系统设置Storage / 存储然后进入阵列卡，一般配备的是ServeRAID M5210或者M1215阵列卡进入Main Menu / 主菜单此界面即阵列卡配置主界面，然后进入Drive Management / 磁盘管理查看硬盘状态注意硬盘的状态，只有Unconfigured Good状态的硬盘才能配置RAID，Online状态表示该盘已在某个阵列中，JBOD状态表示该盘为单盘直通模式，Unconfigured Good状态与JBOD状态的相互转换请看下文“设置JBOD模式”二、创建RAID 0/1/5阵列进入阵列卡配置主界面，进入Configuration Management / 配置管理再进入Create Virtual Drive，创建一个阵列RAID Level / RAID级别选择RAID 0、RAID 1或者RAID 5。
本节只介绍创建RAID 5阵列的操作步骤，创建RAID 0或者RAID 1阵列参照本节操作执行注意：RAID 5等RAID级别需要阵列卡硬件支持或者激活相应功能，亦需要可配置硬盘数量满足最低要求，否则不会出现相应RAID级别或者该RAID级别为灰色不可选（如本机虽然已激活RAID 5/50功能，但不满足创建RAID 50硬盘数量最低要求：6块，所以RAID 50选项未出现）选择好RAID级别后进入Select Drives / 选取硬盘在将要加入阵列的硬盘上按空格或者回车键，然后Apply Changes / 应用更改。
注意：1、不同RAID级别有不同的硬盘数量要求，如RAID 5至少需要3块硬盘，RAID 1只能有2块硬盘，RAID 0无限制。
2、如果使用SSD / 固态硬盘配置阵列，需要将Select Media Type选项改为SSD。
