5-4 Chapter 5: RAID conguration

5.1.2 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.

5.1.3 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

Intel

ICH10R chipset. To do this:

1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2. Go to the

Main Menu

IDE Conguration

, then press <Enter>.

3. Set

Congure SATA as

to [RAID]

4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.

Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS

Setup.

5.1.4 RAID conguration utilities

Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set

using the utilities embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the

LSI

MegaRAID Software RAID Setup Utility

or the

Intel

Matrix Storage Manager

you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by

the Intel

ICH10R chipset.

Refer to the succeeding section for details on how to use the RAID conguration

utility.
