Software RAID setup
This chapter describes software mirroring (RAID1) setup. We only support mirroring. We
do not support operation for other RAIDs (RAID0, RAID5, and RAID10). Be aware that
functions not supported are outside the scope of the warranty.
Software RAIDs are not hot-swappable.
If RAID settings are changed, all data on the hard disks will be erased.
Back up necessary data in advance.

Before starting the RAID utility, set the IDE device to RAID in the BIOS setup described
