To install the operating system onto the RAID array, make sure the Intel® NVMe SSDs are installed in the PCIe slots managed by the same VMD controller. A-2: Creating a RAID Array Step 1: After the system starts, go to the BIOS Setup, make sure CSM Support on the Boot menu is disabled. Then go to Settings\IO Ports\SATA And RST Configuration. Enable SATA Controller(s), set SATA Mode Selection to Intel RST Premium, and enable iRSTe Support. Step 2: Go to Settings\IO Ports\PCIE Slot VROC & Bifurcation to set how the bandwidth of the PCIe slot you use is divided. Save the changes and exit BIOS Setup. - 83 - Configuring a RAID Set

Core
™
X series 48-lane, 44-lane or 28-lane processor
2. An Intel
®
VROC Upgrade Key (purchased separately)
3. At least two Intel

Supported RAID Levels
No Key Installed
RAID 0
Standard Key
RAID 0, 1, 10
Premium Key
RAID 0, 1, 5, 10
Installation Guidelines
A-1: Hardware Installation
Plug the Intel
®
VROC Upgrade Key into the VROC header on the motherboard and install the Intel
®
NVMe SSDs
in the PCIe slot(s) or the M.2 connector(s) controlled by the CPU.
To install the operating system onto the RAID array, make sure the Intel
®
NVMe SSDs are installed in the PCIe
slots managed by the same VMD controller.
A-2: Creating a RAID Array
Step 1:
After the system starts, go to the BIOS Setup, make
sure
CSM Support
on the
Boot
menu is disabled.
Then go to
Settings\IO Ports\SATA And RST
Configuration
. Enable
SATA Controller(s)
, set
SATA Mode Selection
to
Intel RST Premium
, and
enable
iRSTe Support
.
Step 2:
Go to
Settings\IO Ports\PCIE Slot VROC &
Bifurcation
to set how the bandwidth of the PCIe
slot you use is divided. Save the changes and exit
BIOS Setup.
