LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility

The LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility allows you to create RAID 0,

RAID 1, or RAID 10 set(s) from SATA hard disk drives connected to the SATA connectors

supported by the motherboard southbridge chip.
To enter the LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility:
1.

Turn on the system after installing all the SATA hard disk drives.

2.

During POST, the LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility automatically

detects the installed SATA hard disk drives and displays any existing RAID set(s).

Press <Ctrl> + <M> to enter the utility.

The LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility automatically configures to RAID

1 when the SATA to RAID Mode is enabled.

The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not exactly

match the items on your screen due to the controller version difference.

When you create RAID sets with the LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility,

the boot priority of the SATA optical drive has to be manually adjusted. Otherwise, the

system will not boot from the connected SATA ODD.
