5.4.2 NVIDIA® RAID configurations The motherboard includes a high performance IDE RAID controller integrated in the NVIDIA® nForce™ 4 SLI southbridge chipset. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5 and JBOD for four independent Serial ATA channels. Setting the BIOS RAID items After installing the hard disk drives, make sure to set the necessary RAID items in the BIOS before setting your RAID configuration. To set the BIOS RAID items: 1. Boot the system and press during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the BIOS Setup Utility. 2. From the M a i n > I D E C o n f i g u r a t i o n menu item in the BIOS set the n V i d i a R A I D F u n c t i o n item to Enabled. 3. Select and enable the IDE or SATA drive(s) that you want to configure as RAID. See section "4.3.7 IDE Configuration" for details. 4. Save your changes and Exit Setup.
