Chapter 5: RAID configuration

5.1.3

Setting the RAID item in BIOS

You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set

from SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by

Intel

C202 / C204 chipset. To do this:

1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Go to the

Advanced

Menu >

SATA Configuration

, then press <Enter>.

3. Set

SATA Mode

to [RAID Mode]

4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.

Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS

Setup.

5.1.4

RAID configuration utilities

Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using

the utilities embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the

LSI Logic

Embedded SATA RAID Setup Utility

or the

Intel

Rapid Storage Technology

you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by

the Intel

C202 chipset.

Refer to the succeeding section for details on how to use the RAID configuration

utility.

5.1.2

Installing hard disk drives

The motherboard supports Serial ATA 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.
