Setup Array for Normal:
You can use the RAIDExpress 133 card as a normal IDE controller. The

independent drive volumes.

Warning: If you prefer to keep data in your hard drives, please
follow the procedures in the Define RAID section on page 21 to
setup your arrays manually.
l Click the “Esc” key to go back to the Main Menu on page 9.
