Chapter 5: RAID configuration

Setting the RAID item in BIOS

You must enable the RAID function in the BIOS Setup before creating RAID set(s)

using SATA HDDs. To do this:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Go to the Main menu > Storage Configuration, and then press <Enter>.
3. Set the Configure SATA as item to [RAID].
4. Save your changes, and then exit the BIOS Setup.

Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS

Setup.

Due to chipset limitation, when set any of SATA ports to RAID mode, all SATA

ports run at RAID mode together.

5.1.2

Installing hard disk drives

The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal performance,

install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for a RAID configuration:
1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.
2. Connect the SATA signal cables.
3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.
