MS-6702 ATX Mainboard After array mode is selected, there are two methods to create a disk array. One method is "Auto Setup" and the other one is "Select Disk Drives". Auto Setup allows BIOS to select the disk drives and create arrays automatically, but it does not duplicate the mirroring drives even if the user selected Create and duplicate for RAID 1. It is recommended all disk drives are new ones when wanting to create an array. Select Disk Drives lets the user select the array drives by their requirements. When using Select Disk Drives, the channel column will be activated. Highlight the target drives that you want to use and press to select them. After all drives have been selected, press to go back to the creation steps menu. If user selects a RAID 0 array in step 2, the block size of the array can also be selected. Use the arrow key to highlight Block Size and press , then select a block size from the popup menu. The block size can be 4KB to 64KB. B-6
