CAUTION!

Do not accidentally disconnect the SATA drive cables. Carefully route

the cables within the chassis to avoid system down time.

F.2 Features and Benefits

Supports RAID levels 0, 1, and JBOD

Supports connectivity to two disk drives

Windows-based software for RAID management

F.3 Accessing the AMD SB600 RAID Utility

To access the

AMD RAID Utility

, please follow the steps below:

Step 1:

Connect SATA drives to the system

. Connect at least two SATA drives to the

system. Make sure the drives have the same capacity, are the same type and

have the same speed.

NOTE

Make sure the SATA drives are EXACTLY the same when they are

configured in a RAID configuration (JBOD, RAID 0 or RAID 1). If they

are not the same size, disk drive capacity is sacrificed and overall

performance affected.

Step 2:

Enable SATA drives in BIOS

. Start the computer and access the

AMI BIOS

setup program. Next, open the

Southbridge Setup

menu. Enable the

OnChip

SATA Channel

option and change the

OnChip

SATA Type

RAID

Step 3:

Save and Exit BIOS

. After the

SATA ROM Support BIOS

option is enabled,

save and exit the

BIOS

Step 4:

Reboot the system

. Reboot the system after saving and exiting the

BIOS
