Chapter 2: BIOS setup

Setting the Stripe Size

To set the stripe size:
1. From the ULI RAID BIOS Setup utility menu, move the cursor to

Stripe Size

then press <Enter>.

2. Use the up or down arrow keys to select a stripe size then press <Enter>.
3. The stripe size is displayed beside the Stripe Size menu item.

TIP: For server systems, we recommend using a lower array block size. For

multimedia computer systems used mainly for audio and video editing, we

recommend a higher array block size for optimum performance.
