BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS SRAM. When the power is turned on, pushing the button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen.
English The Main Menu (For example: BIOS Ver. : E3) Once you enter Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu (as figure below) will appear on the screen. Use arrow keys to select among the items and press to accept or enter the sub-menu.

English 4-1-3 Serial ATA BIOS Setting Utility Introduction RAID Levels RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of combining two hard disk drives into one logical unit. The advantage of an Array is to provide better performance or data fault tolerance. Fault tolerance is achieved through data redundant operation, where if one drives fails, a mirrored copy of the data can be found on another drive. This can prevent data loss if the operating system fails or hangs.
Configuring the SiS RAID BIOS The SiS RAID BIOS Setting Utility lets you choose the RAID array type and which hard drives you want to make part of the array. Entering the RAID BIOS Setup After rebooting your computer, wait until you see the RAID software prompting you to press Ctrl-S (Figure 1). The RAID prompt appears as part of the system POST and boot process prior to loading the OS. You have a few seconds to press Ctrl-S before the window disappears. Silicon Integrated Systems Corp.
