MediaShield™ RAID configurations

The motherboard includes a high performance SATA RAID controller integrated in

the NVIDIA

®

nForce™ 570 Ultra southbridge chipset. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1,

RAID 0+1, RAID 5 and JBOD for six independent Serial ATA channels.

Setting the BIOS RAID items

After installing the hard disk drives, make sure to set the necessary RAID items in

the BIOS before setting your RAID configuration.
To set the BIOS RAID items:

1. Boot the system and press <Del> during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to

enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

2. From the Main > IDE Configuration menu item in the BIOS set the nVidia

RAID Function item to Enabled.

3. Select and enable the SATA drive(s) that you want to configure as RAID. See

section “4.3.6 IDE Configuration” for details.

4. Save your changes and Exit Setup.

• For detailed descriptions on the NVIDIA® RAID configuration, refer to the

“NVIDIA

®

MediaShield RAID User’s Manual” found in your motherboard

support CD.

• When using Windows 2000 operating system, make sure to install the

Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later versions.

Make sure to re-enter your NVRAID settings after the CMOS is cleared;

otherwise, the system will not recognize your RAID setup.
