Go to the MAIN menu, select IDE Configuration and press 3. Set the Configure SATA As option to [RAID]. 4. Save your changes and then exit BIOS Setup. 7.3 SATA RAID Setup Depending on which SATA Software RAID option the server board is configured for, one of two embedded SATA RAID configuration utilities are used to configure hard disk drives to a RAID Set. LSI* Software RAID Configuration Utility - Intel® Matrix Storage Manager Utility - Access to these utilities is achieved by entering the respective Hot-Key sequence when prompted during system POST.
