Configuring SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup
Make sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup.
Step 1:
Turn on your computer and press <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup during the POST (Power-On Self-Test).
Under
Integrated Peripherals
, ensure
NV Serial-ATA Controller
is enabled (Figure 1). Then, go to
the
SATA-II RAID Config
submenu (Figure 2).
Figure 1
The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may differ from the exact settings for your
motherboard. The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard
you have and the BIOS version.
Step 2:
Save changes and exit BIOS Setup.
To create a RAID array, set
Onchip SATA Mode
to
RAID
(or set to
IDE
or
AHCI
for non-RAID
configuration). Then, enable RAID functionality for the SATA connectors with hard drives that you want
to use for RAID. For example,
SATA-II Pri-Master RAID
is for the SATAII0 connector and
SATA-II Pri-
Slave RAID
for the SATAII1 connector. (Figure 2).
