Chapter 6: RAID Configuration

6.4 Intel

®

 Virtual Raid on CPU in BIOS

This feature requires a KEY module to enable CPU RAID functions with Intel

®

 CPU RSTe.

• 

The KEY module is purchased separately.

• 

Refer to section 

4.4 Internal connectors

 for the location of the VROC_KEY1 

connector.

To enter the Intel

®

 Virtual Raid on CPU in BIOS:

1. 

Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2. 

Go to the 

Advanced

 menu 

>

 

Intel(R) Virtual Raid on CPU 

> 

All Intel VMD 

Controllers 

then press <Enter> to display the Intel

®

 Virtual Raid on CPU menu.

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

Due to chipset limitation, when SATA ports are set to RAID mode, all SATA ports run at 

RAID mode together.
