1. Install the RAID controller. If you are using a physical RAID controller, install it in your system. If you are using a software RAID controller, install the software and configure the controller settings.
2. Configure the RAID settings. Configure the RAID settings to the desired RAID level. Common RAID levels include RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10.
3. Determine the number of disks to use. Depending on the RAID level and the desired level of redundancy, determine the number of disks you need to use.
4. Configure the RAID array. Use the RAID controller software or the RAID controller hardware to configure the RAID array.
5. Create the RAID array. Once the settings are configured, create the RAID array. The RAID controller will then create the logical disk from the disk drives.
6. Format the RAID array. Once the RAID array is created, format it with a supported file system.
7. Install the operating system. If desired, install the operating system on the RAID array.
