nVIDIA RAID Introduction

Basic Configuration Instructions

The following are the basic steps for configuring NVRAID:

Non-Bootable RAID Array

1. Choose the hard disks that are to be RAID enabled in the system BIOS. (Check p.
  3-13 for details.)
2. Specify the RAID level, either Mirroring (RAID 1), Striping (RAID 0), Striping and
    Mirroring (RAID 0+1), or Spanning (JBOD) and create the desired RAID array.
3. Enter the W indows OS, run the W indows nForce Setup application and install the
  RAID software. (Check p.6-9 for details.)
4. Initialize the NVRAID Array Disks.

Bootable RAID Array

1. Choose the hard disks that are to be RAID enabled in the system BIOS. (Check p.

3-13 for details.)

2. Specify the RAID level, either Mirroring (RAID 1), Striping (RAID 0), Striping and
Mirroring (RAID 0+1), or Spanning (JBOD) and create the desired RAID array.
3. Boot from the W indows CD, use the floppy disk that has the RAID driver to copy
and install the nForce RAID software. (Check p.6-9 for details.)
4. Initialize the NVRAID Array Disks.

Setting Up the NVRAID BIOS

Be sure to enable the

IDE Primary/ Secondary Master/ Slave RAID & SATA1/

SATA2/SATA3/SATA4 RAID

items in

nVidia RAID Config

of

Integrated Peripher-

als

in BIOS (refer to p.3-13 for details) before configuring the NVRAID BIOS. After

that press F10 to save the configuration and exit. The PC will reboot right away. Then
enter the RAID BIOS Setup by pressing

F10

when prompted, and follow the proce-

dures described below to set up the NVRAID BIOS.
NVRAID BIOS setup lets you choose the RAID array type and which hard drives you
want to make part of the array.

Entering the RAID BIOS Setup

1. After rebooting your PC, wait until

yo u s e e t h e R A I D s of t w ar e
prompting you to press

F10

. The

RAID prompt appears as part of
the system POST and boot process
prior to loading the OS.

2. Press

F10

, and the NVIDIA RAID

Utility ---

Define a New Array

win-

dow will appear.
The default

RAID M ode

is set to

Mirroring

and

Striping Block

is

set to

Optimal
