1.1.4 Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU in UEFI BIOS Some motherboards support Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 solution. RAID 0 can be created without a KEY module, while RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 requires a KEY module. • The KEY module is purchased separately. • The Hyper M.2 x16 card is purchased separately. • Due to CPU behavior, CPU RAID functions with Intel® CPU RSTe only supports Intel® Core™ X-series Processors (6-core or above) and Intel® SSD modules. • Refer to section Internal connectors in your motherboard's user manual for the location of the VROC_HW_KEY connector. If you plan on using the CPU RAID configuration spanned across different PCIE slots as OS drives, please install the Hyper M.2 x16 cards into supported PCIE slots. Refer to section Expansion slots in your motherboard's user manual for more information on the PCIE slots. To enter the Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU in UEFI BIOS: 1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
