Steps:
1. Turn on your computer and press <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup during the POST (Power-On Self-Test).
Make sure OnChip SATA Controller is enabled. To enable RAID for the SATA3_0/1/2/3 connectors, set
OnChip SATA Type to RAID. To enable RAID for the SATA3_4/SATA3_5 connectors, set OnChip SATA
Type to RAID and set OnChip SATA Port4/5 Type to As SATA Type.
2. Save changes and exit BIOS Setup.
The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may differ from the exact settings for your moth-
erboard. The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard you
have and the BIOS version.
C. Configuring RAID set in RAID BIOS
Enter the RAID BIOS setup utility to configure a RAID array. After the POST memory test begins and
before the operating system boot begins, look for a message which says "Press <Ctrl-F> to enter RAID
Option ROM Utility". Press <Ctrl> + <F> to enter the RAID BIOS setup utility. To create a new array, press
<2> to enter the LD View/LD Define Menu window. To create an array, press <Ctrl+C> to access the LD
Define Menu. In the LD Define Menu, use the up or down arrow key to move to an item for further configu-
ration. In the following procedure, we'll create RAID 0 as an example.
Steps:
1. Under the RAID Mode section, press the <SPACE> key to select RAID 0.
2. Set the Stripe Block size. 64 KB is the default.
3. Under the Drives Assignments section, press the up or down arrow key to highlight a drive.
4. Press the <SPACE> key or <Y>to change the Assignment option to Y. This action adds the drive to the
disk array. The Drv section will show the number of disks assigned.
5. Press <Ctrl>+<Y> keys to save the information. The message in Figure 1 will appear. Press <Ctrl>+<Y>
to input the array name. If you do not input the array name, the default array name will be used.
6. When the next message appears, press <Ctrl>+<Y> to clear the MBR or press other keys to ignore this
option.
7. Then, the message in Figure 8 will appear. Press <Ctrl>+<Y> to set the capacity of the RAID array or
press other keys to set the array to its maximum capacity.
8. After the creation is complete, the screen will return to LD View Menu where you will see the newly-
created array.
9. Press <Esc> to return to Main Menu and press <Esc> again if you want to exit the RAID BIOS utility.
