Chapter 5: RAID configuration

5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives

The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives for RAID set

configuration. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same

model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration:

1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the

instructions in the system user guide.

2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of

each drive and to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

5.1.3 RAID configuration utility

You can create a RAID set using the utility embedded in each RAID

controller. For example, you can use the NVIDIA

®

RAID Utility if you

installed IDE and/or SATA hard disk drives to the IDE and/or SATA

connectors supported by the NVIDIA

®

MCP55 Professional chip. Refer to

the succeeding sections for details on how to enter the RAID configuration

utility.
