The PCISATA4R1 comes with an integrated BIOS-level configuration utility that allows
you to configure the RAID setup, rebuild your array in the event of failure, and resolve
conflicts with the arrays you have setup. Once you have installed the card according to
the instructions and attached the SATA drives you wish to use with the card, you can
then configure the type of array you would like to use.
To enter the configuration utility, press and hold [CTRL] and [S] at the same time (or
press [F4]) when you see the following prompt:
NOTE: At least one SATA drive must be installed for you to access the RAID utility.
Once you access the utility, you will be presented with the following menu:
The
Main Menu
option allows you to carry out various tasks related to configuring and
maintaining your RAID. You can navigate the menu using the arrow keys on the
keyboard and select an item by pressing [Enter]. The

cause data loss or cause the computer to become unbootable. It is highly recommended
that you have a complete, good backup available prior to using this option.
