Intel Desktop Board DZ68BC Technical Product Specification 1.6.2.1 SATA RAID The board supports the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels via the PCH: • RAID 0 - data striping • RAID 1 - data mirroring • RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring • RAID 5 - distributed parity RAID functionality is only supported when using drives connected to the two SATA 6.0 Gb/s (blue) and four SATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (black) from the PCH. NOTE In order to use supported RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS. Also, during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID drivers. See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about installing drivers during installation. Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows 7 include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the need to install separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system installation process. 1.7 Graphics Subsystem The board supports graphics through either Intel Graphics Technology or a PCI Express 2.0 x16 add-in graphics card. 1.7.1 Integrated Graphics The board supports integrated graphics through the Intel® Flexible Display Interface (Intel® FDI) for processors with Intel Graphics Technology. NOTE If using a processor with integrated graphics, the board will support only two of the integrated graphics interfaces simultaneously: DisplayPort, DVI-I, HDMI. Also, during the Power On Self Test (POST), the board will not output to the DisplayPort if DVI-I is used concurrently with DisplayPort. 24

1.6.2.1
SATA RAID
The board supports the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels
via the PCH:
•
RAID 0
- data striping
•
RAID 1
- data mirroring
•
RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10)
- data striping and mirroring
•
RAID 5
– distributed parity
RAID functionality is only supported when using drives connected to the two SATA
6.0 Gb/s (blue) and four SATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (black) from the PCH.
NOTE
In order to use supported RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS. Also,
during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID drivers.
See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about installing
drivers during installation. Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows 7
include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the need to install
separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system installation process.
1.7
Graphics Subsystem
The board supports graphics through either Intel Graphics Technology or a PCI
Express 2.0 x16 add-in graphics card.
1.7.1
Integrated Graphics
The board supports integrated graphics through the Intel
®
Flexible Display Interface
(Intel
®
FDI) for processors with Intel Graphics Technology.
NOTE
If using a processor with integrated graphics, the board will support only two of the
integrated graphics interfaces simultaneously: DisplayPort, DVI-I, HDMI. Also, during
the Power On Self Test (POST), the board will not output to the DisplayPort if DVI-I is
used concurrently with DisplayPort.
