RAID configurations

The motherboard includes a high performance SATA RAID controller integrated in

the NVIDIA

®

nForce Professional 2200 chip. The RAID controller supports RAID 0

and RAID 1 using the four independent Serial ATA channels.

6.2.1

Setting the BIOS RAID items

After installing the hard disk drives, make sure to set the necessary RAID items in

the BIOS before setting your RAID configuration.
To set the BIOS RAID items:
1.  Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2.  Go to the Main Menu, select IDE Configuration, then press <Enter>.
3.  Set the RAID Option ROM item to [Enabled], then press <Enter>. The master

and slave drive list appears.

4. Enable the drives you want to set as RAID.

5. Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup.

• Refer to Chapter 5 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS

Setup.

• The RAID BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference only,

and may not exactly match the items on your screen.
