Hardware Installation
2.6.5 IDE Disk Drive Connector
Configuring RAID on IDE Drives
The system board allows configuring RAID across Parallel ATA drives
and Serial ATA drives. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, 0+1 and JBOD.
For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model
and capacity. The drives’ matched performance allows the RAID array
to function better as a single drive.
1. Set the “IDE RAID” field to “Enabled”. (Integrated Peripherals
submenu - “RAID Config” section of the Award BIOS.)
2. Configure the “IDE Channel 0 Master/Slave RAID” to “IDE
Channel 1 Master/Slave RAID” fields to Enabled. (Integrated Pe-
ripherals submenu - “RAID Config” section of the Award BIOS.)
3. Run the NVIDIA RAID BIOS utility by pressing the <F10> key
after the system powers-up. The utility is used to configure and
manage RAID on both Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drives.
4. Install the NVIDIA Windows nForce Drivers.
