Building a RAID 1 set for the rst time

The ASUS EZ-Backup advantage is that you can build a RAID 1 set without any jumper

or BIOS setting. When creating a RAID 1 set for the rst time, you can follow these simple

steps.

1. Prepare two Serial ATA hard disk drives (HDDs). Plug one end of the Serial

ATA cable to the rear interface on each drive and plug the other end of the

cable to the motherboard connectors labeled EZ_RAID1 and EZ_RAID2

(colored light orange). Refer to section “2.7.2 Internal connectors” for the

location of the connectors.

For best results, use Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s hard disk drives listed in the

EZ-Backup compatibility list. Visit the ASUS website at www.asus.com for

details.

2. Connect a Serial ATA power cable or a 4-pin legacy power connector from

the power supply unit to the rear power connector on each drive.

Using both the SATA power cable and 4-pin power connector simultaneously

will cause damage to the system.

3. Install the operating system.

4. Install the ASUS EZ-Backup Manager utility from the support CD that came

with the motherboard package.

5. Reboot the computer.

3. BIG is storage policy in which multiple physical drives are concatenated

and treated as one large volume. This conguration allows you to increase

virtual volume size beyond the capacity of individual drives. Big provides the

maximum amount of storage space, but no additional performance or data

redundancy.

To implement the Big storage policy, the ASUS EZ-Backup Manager

concatenates both hard drives into a single volume.

Before creating a RAID set

Prepare the following items:

1. Two Serial ATA hard disk drives (HDDs)., preferably with the same model and

capacity.

2. Motherboard support CD with ASUS EZ-Backup Manager
