5 CAUTION Intel® Matrix Storage Manager The Intel® Matrix Storage technology supports RAID 0 ,RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 (0+1) functions. It allows you to get high performance with fault tolerance, big capacity, or data safety provided by different RAID functions. In this section, we will use four SATA hard disks as an example to guide you how to configure your RAID system. There are two 232.9GBs, one 298.1GB, and one 279.5GB. A creation of second volume will also be well described. In each screen, there is also a message bar about each key's function, such as , , ...etc. it is to help making your selection easier. Two topics will be introduced : 1). Installing a new Windows XP in a brand new RAID system. 2). Existing Windows XP system with new RAID built as data storage. ! Before installing the SATA hard disks, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the hardware. Steps to Install Serial ATA Hard Disks : 1. Install SATA hard disks into the drive bays. 2. Connect one end of the SATA cable to motherboard's SATA connector, and the other end to SATA hard disk. 3. Connect SATA power cable to the power connector of SATA hard disk. WARNING! ■ Both AHCI and RAID modes need to install Intel® Matrix Storage driver. ■ Set SATA mode in BIOS to AHCI, you can skip RAID BIOS creation steps, but the software driver installation of Intel® Matrix Storage Manager shall follow the same rule as described for RAID. 73

Intel
®
Matrix Storage Manager
The Intel
®
Matrix Storage technology supports RAID 0 ,RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10
(0+1) functions. It allows you to get high performance with fault tolerance, big capacity,
or data safety provided by different RAID functions.
In this section, we will use four SATA hard disks as an example to guide you how
to configure your RAID system. There are two 232.9GBs, one 298.1GB, and one
279.5GB. A creation of second volume will also be well described.
In each screen, there is also a message bar about each key’s function, such as <Tab>,
<Enter>, <Del>...etc. it is to help making your selection easier.
Two topics will be introduced :
1). Installing a new Windows XP in a brand new RAID system.
2). Existing Windows XP system with new RAID built as data storage.
Steps to Install Serial ATA Hard Disks :
1. Install SATA hard disks into the drive bays.
2. Connect one end of the SATA cable to motherboard’s SATA
connector, and the
other end to SATA hard disk.
3. Connect SATA power cable to the power connector of SATA hard disk.
Before installing the SATA hard disks, make sure to turn off the computer
and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the
hardware.
CAUTION
!
■
Both AHCI and RAID modes need to install
Intel
®
Matrix Storage driver.
■
Set SATA mode in BIOS to
AHCI, you can skip RAID BIOS creation steps,
but the software driver installation of
Intel
®
Matrix Storage Manager
shall
follow the same rule as described for RAID.
