Setting Up Your RAID Configuration

The RAID Config screen appears.

Figure 2.12

RAID Config Screen

5 From the RAID Config window, globally enable RAID, then enable the SATA ports

with disks that you want to use for RAID.

If RAID is enabled globally but not enabled on the individual SATA port, disks on that

port can only be used for non-RAID applications.

In the example in Figure 2.12, four SATA ports are enabled, so the non-bootable RAID

array can include up to four SATA disks. If there is a disk Connected to ʺSATA 3

Primary” or “SATA 3 Secondaryʺ, it cannot be used for RAID.

6 Press F10 to save the configuration and exit.

The PC reboots.

7 Enter the RAID BIOS Setup by pressing F10 when prompted, and proceed to set up the

RAID BIOS as described in the next section.
