To set up a RAID array, ensure that
NV SATA RAID function
is enabled (Figure 2), otherwise leave
it disabled. Then enable the SATA channels with hard disks that you want to use for RAID (for example
,
NV SATA1 Primary RAID
controls the SATAII0 connector and
NV SATA 1 Secondary RAID
controls
the SATAII1 connector) (Figure 2).
The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may not show the exact settings for your
motherboard. The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard
