6.1.2 Installing hard disk drives

The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set conguration. For optimal

performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating

a disk array.

To install the SATA hard disks for RAID conguration:

1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the

system user guide.

2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive

and to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

6.1.3 Setting the RAID item in BIOS

You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set

from SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by the

Intel

ICH7R Southbridge chip. To do this:

1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2. Go to the

Main Menu

IDEConguration

, then press <Enter>.

3. Set the

ATA/IDE

Conguration

item to [Enhanced].

4. Set the

Refer to

Chapter 5

for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS

Setup.

6.1.4 RAIDcongurationutilities
