Overview

This document describes the procedure to configure the Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) volumes on Serial
Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) and Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) drives using the AMD RAID application,
AMD RAIDXpert2.

This document provides a high-level overview of how to manage the RAID configurations. For more information, refer to AMD
documentation, in particular the

AMD-RAIDXpert2 User Guide

and

AMD NVMe/SATA RAID Quick Start Guide for Windows

Operating Systems

, both available at

Scope

This document provides examples of RAID configurations using the Precision 7865 Tower.

In some of the screenshots, a firmware version may be listed as examples. The firmware version on your system may be
different.

NVMe-related sections are subject to change as the technology evolves.
