5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives The motherboard supports Serial ATA (both models) and SCSI hard disk drives (SCSI model only) for RAID set configuration. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array. To install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration: 1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system user guide. 2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to the SATA connector on the motherboard. 3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive. To install the SCSI hard disks for RAID configuration: 1. Install the SCSI hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system user guide. 2. Connect the SCSI interface cable connectors at the back of the SCSI drives. 3. Connect the other end of the SCSI interface cable to the SCSI connector on the motherboard. 5.1.3 RAID configuration utility You can create a RAID set using the utility embedded in each RAID controller. For example, you can use the N V I D I A® R A I D U t i l i t y if you installed IDE and/or SATA hard disk drives to the IDE and/or SATA connectors supported by the NVIDIA® nForce Professional 2200 chip. Refer to the succeeding sections for details on how to enter the RAID configuration utility. 5-2 Chapter 5: RAID configuration
