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
®
C612 chipset.
To do this:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Go to the Advanced Menu > PCH 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 MegaRAID Software
Configuration Utility or the Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology if you installed Serial ATA
hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Intel
®
C612 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.
