Use the 3ware BIOS to convert a RAID disk into a hot spare, and then press F8 to save it and reboot. Enter the 3ware BIOS again, and select the drive and press the ‘s’ key to deselect the drive as a hot spare and save the change with F8. Once you boot into the OS, the drive will be seen as a JBOD drive.
