5.1.2 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. 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. 5.1.3 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 Intel® C242 chipset. To do this: 1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST. 2. Go to the Chipset Menu > PCH-IO Configuration > SATA And RSTe Configuration, then press . 3. Set SATA Mode Selection to [RAID]. 4. Press to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup. Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup. P11C-C/4L 5-3
