Configuring a RAID array Using UEFI Setup Utility
The BIOS screenshots in this guide are for reference only and may differ from the exact settings
for your motherboard. The actual setup options you will see shall depend on the motherboard
you purchase. Please refer to the product specification page of the model you are using for
information on RAID support. Because the motherboard specifications and the BIOS software
might be updated, the content of this documentation will be subject to change without notice.

SSD in a Hyper M.2 slot is only available with an Intel® SSD in that slot.

STEP 2:
