Configuring simple-swap SATA RAID Use the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility program to configure and manage simple-swap SATA redundant array of independent disks (RAID) on simple-swap SATA models with no ServeRAID adapter installed. This utility is part of the BIOS code. The Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility program adds RAID functionality to the integrated SATA controller. The integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller comes disabled by default. You must enable it and install the device drivers before you can use it. The device drivers, documentation, and other information are available on the IBM ServeRAID-8e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD. Enabling the Serial ATA (SATA) controller To enable the SATA RAID controller, complete the following steps: 1. Turn on the server. 2. When the prompt Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1. If you have set an administrator password, you are prompted to type the password. 3.
