Go to the HP.com website and download the SmartStart CD for your system. This has everything you need to configure the raid. The raid on these machines is a 'hardware' raid running through a proprietary raid card. It is 'extremely' robust. However, you must use the HP SmartStart disk (or perhaps there is something else from hp/compaq?) to configure your raid. The raid card in that machine most likely has a battery on it to allow protected write caching. Very speedy. The battery is used in case of power outage... the data still gets written.
It is a model 1xx Proliant... so no SmartStart or Firmware Maintenance CD...

OH... Duh... I'm running about 20 HP servers, but none have ever been below a 300 series. Sorry about the bad info.
