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

Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using
the utilities embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the LSI Logic
Embedded SATA RAID Setup Utility or the Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology if
you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by
the Intel
®
C602 chipset.
Refer to the succeeding section for details on how to use the RAID conguration
utility.
6.1.2 Installing hard disk drives
The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set conguration. For optimal
performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating
a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for RAID conguration:
1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the
system user guide.
2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive
and to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.
