Configuring a RAID Set
Chapter 3 Configuring a RAID Set
To create a RAID set, follow the steps below:
A. Install SATA hard drive(s) or SSDs in your computer.
B.
Configure SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup.
C.
Configure a RAID array in RAID BIOS.
(Note 1)
D.
Install the SATA RAID/AHCI driver and operating system.
Before you begin, please prepare the following items:
•
At least two SATA hard drives or SSDs
(Note 2)
(to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you
use two hard drives with identical model and capacity).
(Note 3)
•
A Windows setup disk.
•
Motherboard driver disk.
•
A USB thumb drive.
RAID Levels
3-1 Configuring SATA Controllers
A. Installing hard drives
Install the hard drives/SSDs in the Intel
®
Chipset controlled connectors on the motherboard. Then connect
the power connectors from your power supply to the hard drives.

(Note 1) Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID array on the SATA controller.
(Note 2) An M.2 PCIe SSD or an U.2 SSD cannot be used to set up a RAID set either with an M.2 SATA SSD
or a SATA hard drive.
(Note 3) Refer to "1-9 Internal Connectors," for the installation notices for the U.2, M.2, and SATA connectors.
