RAID Support
The Intel
®
Server System SR1530AH / SR1530AHLX / SR1530HAHLX provides SATA
(3.0 Gb/s) support.The SATA controller embedded in the Intel
®
Server Board S3000AH /
S3000AHLX supports both 1.5 and 3.0 Gbps data transfer rates.
The BIOS Setup utility provides multiple drive configuration options on the Advanced |
ATA Controller setup page, some of which affect the ability to configure RAID. The
“Onboard SATA Controller” option is enabled by default. When this option is enabled, the
“SATA Mode” option can be set to either Legacy or Enhanced. The Legacy and Enhanced
modes affect the RAID configuration as follows:
•
The legacy mode does not provide RAID support.
•
The enhanced mode is required for RAID configurations.
When the enhanced mode is selected, you can choose to enable or disable “AHCI Mode”
or “Configure SATA as RAID”. Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology II is enabled
by the option, “Configure SATA as RAID.” The Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID
Technology II feature provides RAID modes 0, 1, and 10.
