www.gateway.com Preparing your computer for RAID Setting up RAID on your computer can involve two major steps, depending on how your computer has been configured. To prepare your computer for RAID: 1 Configure the RAID arrays. See the Array Manager User Guide, or "Configuring RAID" on page 33. 2 Install the operating system. Configuring RAID Enabling RAID If your computer had RAID enabled at the factory, you do not need to enable it. If you are setting up RAID yourself, and RAID was not enabled at the factory, you must enable it. To enable RAID on your computer: 1 Start (or restart) your computer. 2 As soon as your computer turns on and the Gateway logo appears on the screen, press F2. The BIOS Setup utility opens. 3 Select the Advanced menu, then select Drive Configuration. 4 Change the ATA/IDE Mode to Enhanced. 5 Change the SATA mode to RAID. 6 Press F10, then type Y to exit BIOS saving changes. Now that RAID is enabled, you can access the RAID setup. 33
