## Configuring a controller

1. Click a controller from the Main Tree (that is, the left panel).
2. Click Actions --> Create arrays. The Configuration window opens.
3. Click either Express or Custom configuration mode. For more information about the modes see Choosing between Express and Custom configuration modes.
4. Click Next.

Note: If you click Express, you will have the opportunity to review and approve the configuration before the ServeRAID Manager applies the configuration.

The ServeRAID controllers support up to eight independent arrays. You must use the Express or the Custom configuration mode to create arrays.

You can create new arrays when a controller has available ready drives.
