6.1.2 Installing hard disk drives The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set configuration. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array. 6.1.3 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 the Intel® 6321ESB Southbridge chip. To do this: 1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST. 2. Go to the Main Menu > IDE Configuration > S-ATA Configuration, then press . 3. Set the SATA Controller Mode Option item to [Enhanced], then press . 4. Set the SATA RAID Enable item to [Enabled]. 5. Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup. 6.1.4 RAID configuration 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 Intel® Matrix Storage Manager if you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Intel® 6321ESB Southbridge. You may use the LSI1068 SAS Configuration Utility if you installed SAS hard disk drives to the mini-SAS connector(s) supported by the LSI1068 PCI-X SAS controller. Refer to the succeeding sections for details on how to use each RAID configuration utility. ASUS RS520-X5/PS8 6-3
