The 12big Rack Storage Server comes with a preconfigured RAID 5 array 
on the three first data drives, which contain the operating system partition. 
This chapter explains how you can migrate, expand, or reconstruct your 
RAID. The operating system CD is provided if you wish to build a custom-
ized configuration from scratch.

1.  Connect a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the 12big Rack Storage 

Server and boot the system.
