Scroll down to "SATA Control Mode" and press the <Enter> key to select "Enhanced"
Scroll down to "SATA RAID Enabled" and press <Enter>. Then, select "Enabled."
Scroll down to "ICH RAID Codebase" and select "Adaptec". Then press <Enter>.
(*For ICH RAID Codebase: Change the setting from Intel to Adaptec.)
Scroll down to "Exit". Select "Exit Saving Changes" from the "Exit" menu. Press the
<Enter> key to save the changes and exit the BIOS.

The Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA with HostRAID Controller Driver
The Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA RAID Controller adds SATA/RAID functionality and
performance enhancements to a motherboard. RAID striping (RAID 0) allows data to
be written across multiple drives, greatly improving hard disk I/O performance. RAID
mirroring (RAID 1) allows data to be simultaneously written to two drives, improving data
security even if a single hard disk fails. A Stripe of Mirrors (RAID 10) provides multiple
RAID 1 mirrors and a RAID 0 stripe, maximizing data security and system ef fi ciency.
By incorporating the Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA into the motherboard design,
Bull's X7DBT/X7DBT-INF offers the user the bene fi ts of SATARAID without the high costs
associated with hardware RAID applications.
Using the Adaptec RAID Con fi guration Utility (ARC)
The Adaptec RAID Con fi guration Utility, an embedded BIOS Utility, includes the following:
Array Con fi guration Utility: Use this utility to create, con fi gure and manage arrays.
Disk Utilities: Use this option to format or verify disks.
To run the Adaptec RAID Con fi guration Utility, you will need to do the following:
Enable RAID functions in the system BIOS (refer to Chapter 4 for System BIOS
Con fi gurations).
