3.13 RAID Configuration
The PPC-FxxC-Q370 can provide data protection for serial ATA (SATA) disks via the
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology. To access the Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology, please
follow the steps below.
WARNING!
Irrecoverable data loss occurs if a working drive is removed when
trying to remove a failed drive. It is strongly recommended to mark the
physical connections of all SATA disk drives. Drive locations can be
identified by attaching stickers to the drive bays. If a drive member of a
RAID array should fail, the failed drive can then be correctly identified.
CAUTION!
Do not accidentally disconnect the SATA drive cables. Carefully route
the cables within the chassis to avoid system down time.
Step 1: Connect SATA drives to the system . Connect two or more 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. 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 BIOS setup
program. Go to Chipset
