Chapter 4

4.4.2 Installing Serial ATA hard disks

The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal performance, install

identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.

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

1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.

2. Connect the SATA signal cables.

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

4.4.3 Setting the RAID item in BIOS

You must enable the RAID function in the BIOS Setup before creating RAID set(s) using

SATA HDDs. To do this:

1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2. Go to UEFI

Advanced Mode

and go to the

Advanced

menu >

SATA Conguration >

SB SATA Conguration

, and then press <Enter>.

3. Set the

SATA Port

item to [RAID Mode].

4. Save your changes, and then exit the BIOS Setup.

Refer to Chapter 3 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.

Due to chipset limitation, when set any of SATA Port1–Port4 to RAID mode, all SATA Port1–

Port4 run at RAID mode together.
