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 the Advanced menu > SATA Conguration, and then press <Enter>.

3. Set the SATA Mode 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.
