This chapter presents following information about attaching SATA devices and configuring RAID for this
product.
Important notices for setting RAID:
Before you install and configure RAID, make sure of the current RAID setting on the computer you are
servicing.

In this product, if the BIOS was formatted or the system board was replaced, RAID is not enabled
by default.
Good or non failing drives have to be in HDD bay 0 if you have RAID 1.
