Chapter 5: RAID configuration

5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives

The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives for RAID set

conﬁguration. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same

model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for RAID conﬁguration:

1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the

instructions in the system user guide.

2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of

each drive and to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

5.1.3 RAID configuration utility

You can create a RAID set using the utility embedded in each RAID

controller. For example, you can use the NVIDIA

RAID Utility if you installed

IDE and/or SATA hard disk drives to the IDE and/or SATA connectors

supported by the NVIDIA

nForce™ 4 SLI chip. Refer to the succeeding

sections for details on how to enter the RAID conﬁguration utility.
