5.1 NVRAID

5.1.1 Basic Configuration Instruction

The following are the basic steps for configuring NVRAID

5.1.1.1 Non-Bootable RAID Array

①

Choose the hard disks that are to be RAID enabled in the system BIOS.

②

Specify the RAID level, either Mirroring (RAID 1), Striping (RAID 0), Striping and Mirroring (RAID 0+1), or

Spanning (JBOD) and create the desired RAID array.

③

Install the operating system on one hard disk then reboot the system.

④

Run the Windows nForce Setup application and install the RAID driver.

⑤

Initialize the NVRAID Array.

5.1.1.2 Bootable RAID Array

①

Choose the hard disks that are to be RAID enabled in the system BIOS.

②

Specify the RAID level, either Mirroring (RAID 1), Striping (RAID 0), Striping and Mirroring (RAID 0+1), or

Spanning (JBOD) and create the desired RAID array.

③

Boot from the Windows CD, then press F6 when the Windows Setup appears.

④

Install the floppy disk with the NVRAID driver for Windows when prompt. The drivers are available through

the UNIWIDE at

www.uniwide.com

under the Support Menu; Driver Download.

⑤

Initialize the NVRAID Array.
