What do I use to create a RAID5 Volume?

I need to create a RAID5 volume on my proliant 1600. It has 3 9.1G drives. Does compaq have a raid management utility that I can use? Or do I have to go into the bios (how do I do that?).

Thanks,

Re: What do I use to create a RAID5 Volume?

Hardware RAID level requires a Raid Level SCSI Controller. We have a complete line of these (Smart 2DH, Smart 2SL, 221, 431, Smart 3200, Smart 4200, Smart 5300 series controllers). This card will have to be added to your unit before HARDWARE RAID level can be initiated. For Software RAID level, please refer to your operating system documentation
