values. When BIOS screen has been accessed, follow the steps below.
Enable RAID mode (for all models)
1. Press Del key during boot (shortly after you hear the beep) to enter BIOS.
2. Go to “Advanced -> SATA Configuration”
3. Set SATA mode selection: RAID
4. Press F10 and Enter to save settings and reboot.
Create RAID Volume for HT B30xI (Celeron 3955U CPU) models
1. After RAID has been set and unit rebooted, press Del key to enter BIOS.
2. Go to “Advanced -> Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology”.
a. This menu will only show after RAID is enabled and system rebooted.
3. Select Create RAID Volume
a. Enter volume name. Default: Volume1
b. Select RAID Level. Available options depend on how many drives are connected.
- 2+ drives:
1. RAID0 (Stripe)
a. Increased Read and Write performance.
b. No redundancy.
c. Not recommended for critical systems!
2. RAID1 (Mirror)
a. Increased Read performance.
b. Good redundancy.
c. Recommended for most setups.
3. Recovery
a. This is not RAID but a backup function to copy data from master disk to a
recovery disk.
- 3+ drives:
1. RAID5 (Parity)
a. Increased Read and decreased Write performance.
b. Decent redundancy, only one drive can fail.
c. Not recommended for most setups. Should be avoided for large drives
(1TB+) due to rebuild time and increased risk of failure.
c. Select disks to include in the new RAID volume
- Press Enter and select X option for each disk.
- If Recovery option is selected, M/R options will show instead.
1. M should be set for Master Disk
2. R should be set for Recovery Disk
b. Select Strip Size (RAID0 and RAID5 only).
- Low strip size is preferred for System drives and database. High strip size is preferred for
File Servers. If you are unsure we suggest to use default setting.
- Default is 16KB for RAID0 and 32KB for RAID5.
c. Set Capacity.
- Will be set to max available by default.
d. Set Synchronization (for Recovery option only).
- Continuous: Synchronize continuously when recovery volume is plugged in
- On Request: Synchronize only on request.
e. Select Create Volume to create the new RAID volume when everything is set.
- Warning: All existing data on selected drives will be lost!
f. Your RAID Volume is now ready for use.
- OS must be reinstalled or system image loaded.
- Note that Intel ® RST RAID driver and software should be installed in OS for optimal RAID performance
and functionality.
