Cross-RAID Configuration: Creating a RAID 10 set
with ASUS EZ-Backup and Intel ICH7R
®
A RAID 10 set requires four HDDs. The onboard RAID controller on the Intel
®
ICH7R Southbridge, however, controlls only three Serial ATA connectors. To build a
RAID 10 set, you need to cross-configure Intel
®
ICH7R with Silicon Image
®
, which
controls the EZ_RAID connectors for the EZ-Backup feature.
Refer to the succeeding sections to build a RAID 10 set.
Hardware setup
1.
Install one Serial ATA HDD on the motherboard connector labeled EZ_RAID1.
2.
Install three Serial HDDs on the motherboard connectors labled SATA1,
SATA3, and SATA4.
EZ Backup jumper setting and BIOS configuration
For information on EZ-Backup jumper setting and BIOS configuration, see
section “5.4.4 Silicon Image RAID configuration.”
1.
After installing the Serial ATA hard disks, set the jumper setting to the default
RAID 1 mode.
2.
Turn the system on, and enter the BIOS setup during POST. Go to Advanced
menu > DH Feature page. Set the
EZ Backup RAID Mode Change
item to
Enabled (if the jumper setting has been changed).
3.
Press <F10> to save and exit. The system will restart.
