5-46 Chapter 5: BIOS setup
This chapter provides instructions for creating and configuring RAID, and installing the necessary drivers for different system components.
6.1 RAID The server system/motherboard comes with the A d a p t e c® H o s t R A I D ™ technology embedded in the Intel® 6300ESB Southbridge to support up to two SATA hard disk drives and RAID 0, 1, and JBOD configurations. Refer to the RAID definitions below. 6.1.1 RAID configurations R A I D 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks.
6.1.3 Setting the RAID item in BIOS You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set(s). To do this: 1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST. 2. Go to the A d v a n c e d M e n u u, select O n b o a r d d e v i c e e, then press . Select the item S A T A C o n f i g u r a t i o n n, then press to display the configuration options. 3. 4.

9. Move the cursor to the C r e a t e R A I D v i a option, select N o I n i t from the menu, then press to select. 10. When you have finished setting the array properties, move the cursor to D o n e e, then press to create the RAID 0 set.
11. After you have created the RAID 0 set, the utility main menu appears. Select M a n a g e A r r a y s to display the array, then press to view the array properties. 12. The screen displays the array properties. Press to return to the previous menu.
6.1.4.2 Creating a RAID 1 set (Mirrored) To create a RAID 1 set: 1. 2. 3. 6-10 Follow instructions 1 to 5 of the section “Creating a RAID 0 set (Stripe).” From the A r r a y P r o p e r t i e s menu, select A r r a y T y p e > R A I D 1 ( M i r r o r )), then press . Move the cursor to the A r r a y L a b e l option, then type a name for the RAID 1 set. Press when finished.
4. Move the cursor to the C r e a t e R A I D v i a option, select Q u i c k I n i t from the menu, then press to select. 5. When you have finished setting the array properties, move the cursor to D o n e e, then press to create the RAID 1 set. 6. A message appears on screen informing you that a RAID 1 array created with Quick Init requires you to run a Verify W/FIX on the drives for consistency. Press any key to continue.
7. After you have created the RAID 1 set, the utility main menu appears. Select M a n a g e A r r a y to display the created set. Press to view the array properties. 8.

6.1.4.5 Deleting a RAID 1 set To delete a RAID 1 set: 1. From the array list, select the RAID set you want to delete, then press . The Array Properties dialog box appears. 2. Move the cursor to D e l e t e e, then press to delete the selected RAID set; otherwise, move the cursor to C a n c e l to close the dialog box.
3. When prompted, press to delete the RAID set or press to abort the operation. 4. When prompted, use the arrow keys to select either M e m b e r # 0 or M e m b e r # 1 to delete a RAID 1 set member. Select [ N o n e ] or [ B o t h ] if you want to delete the entire array. 5. To verify if the array was deleted, select M a n a g e A r r a y s from the main menu. A N o A r r a y s P r e s e n t message pops up on the screen if no array is detected.
6.1.4.6 Rebuilding a RAID set The utility displays the condition of the RAID set during the POST. When a RAID set is degraded, you can use the utility to rebuild it. Check the physical connections of the SATA hard disk drives before you rebuild a degraded RAID set. Check the system and motherboard user guide for additional information. To rebuild a RAID array: 1. 2. Enter the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility following the instructions in the section “Creating a RAID 0 (Stripe).
