Figure 1
To set up a RAID array, ensure that
SATA-II RAID function
is enabled (Figure 2), otherwise leave it
disabled. Then enable the SATA controller/channel with hard disks that you want to use for RAID
(
Serial-ATA-II 1
controls the SATAII0 and SATAII1 connectors;
Serial-ATA-II 2
controls the SATAII2 and
SATAII3 connectors). For example, if you wish to create RAID with hard disks on the SATAII0 and
SATAII1 connectors, ensure that
Serial-ATA-II 1
and
SATA-II 1 Primary/Secondary RAID
are en-
abled (Figure 2).
The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may not show the exact settings for your
motherboard. The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard
you have and the BIOS version.
