Once I installed a hardware raid perc 6/i it has basically stated that I need at least 2 hard drives

I have an old dell r710 server with an embedded hardware RAID controller. This is to be a test box, it only has 1 1TB drive in it. I am unable to install an OS on this machine. I suspect that I must create a RAID which means I need another hard drive. Is this true? Also when I boot to system manager it states that no virtual disks have been configured

Hardware

An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. Examples of properties typical of embedded computers when compared with general-purpose ones are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers; the processor(s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those specialised in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand. A common standard class of dedicated processors is the digital signal processor (DSP).
