Hi smileyunus

I'm assuming you are asking how to create a Raid 1 on a PE T110?

To create Raid 1 or hard drive mirroring, you will have to set it up in the Raid BIOS. Restart the system and enter the host adapter configuration utility
program by pressing <Ctrl><R> for a PERC controller or
<Ctrl><C> for a SAS controller.

Let me know what RAID card you are using and I can provide the correct manual for your reference.

Here's a manual for PERC 5i controller card, you can refer to page 15 for RAID terminology:-

Hope this helps.
