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 and RAID 1. 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.

Enable the IDE and/or Serial ATA drives you want to configure
as RAID in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (RAID Config
section) of the Award BIOS.

3. Reboot the PC.

4. When the system powers-up, the NVRAID BIOS status message

screen will appear. Press the <F10> key to enter the utility. The
utility allows you to build a RAID system on Serial ATA drives
and Parallel ATA drives.
