Microsoft server 2003 Siemens server primergy

Hi could someone point me in the right direction. I have a new siemens primergy tx 150 s4 server for a customer. I need to setup the disk mirroring for the second hard disk and have been told to do this i need to convert the primary hard disk to dynamic. at the moment i cannot see the second disk. i then need to be able to access the GAM software which asks for a username and password, which i have setup, but it does not allow me access to it. I also cannot setup the alarms to alert that there has been a failure on the system.
Is there some sort of setup procedure for these servers that needs to be followed, as the technologic information you get with them is immense, and pretty hard going to read.

Any direction that could be given would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

RAID doesn't care about the partition ... It cares that the physical drives are identical.

When you power up the server, during POST, do you see a screen that says to press some key to go into the RAID BIOS (or Adaptec BIOS, or something like that?. This is where you'll set up mirroring.

Next question .... GAM software? What's that?

Alarms .... check the manual.

Chevy's on it. You will not see the 2nd drive inside Windows (disk manager) if it's already configured as RAID.
