Chapter 3 Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) RAID Levels RAID 0 Minimum Number of Hard ≥2 Drives Array Capacity Number of hard drives * Size of the smallest drive Fault Tolerance No RAID 1 RAID 5 RAID 10 2 ≥3 ≥4 Size of the smallest drive Yes (Number of hard drives -1) * Size of the smallest drive Yes (Number of hard drives/2) * Size of the smallest drive Yes To configure SATA hard drive(s), follow the steps below: A. B. C. D. Install SATA hard drive(s) in your computer.
B. Configuring SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup Make sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup. Step 1: Turn on your computer and press to enter BIOS Setup during the POST (Power-On Self-Test). Go to Peripherals\SATA Configuration, make sure Integrated SATA Controller is enabled. To create RAID, set SATA Mode Selection to RAID (Figure 1). If you do not want to create RAID, set this item to IDE or AHCI.
C-1. UEFI RAID Configuration Only Windows 8.1/8 64-bit supports UEFI RAID configuration. Step 1: In BIOS Setup, go to BIOS Features and set Windows 8 Features to Windows 8 and CSM Support to Never (Figure 2). Save the changes and exit BIOS Setup. Figure 2 Step 2: After the system reboot, enter BIOS Setup again. Then enter the Peripherals\Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology sub-menu (Figure 3).
Step 3: On the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology menu, press on Create RAID Volume to enter the Create RAID Volume screen. Enter a volume name with 1~16 letters (letters cannot be special characters) under the Name item and press . Then, select a RAID level (Figure 4). RAID levels supported include RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 (the selections available depend on the number of the hard drives being installed). Next, use the down arrow key to move to Select Disks.
Step 5: After setting the capacity, move to Create Volume and press to begin. (Figure 6) Figure 6 After completing, you'll be brought back to the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology screen. Under RAID Volumes you can see the new RAID volume. To see more detailed information, press on the volume to check for information on RAID level, stripe block size, array name, and array capacity, etc.
Delete RAID Volume To delete a RAID array, press on the volume to be deleted on the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology screen. After entering the RAID VOLUME INFO screen, press on Delete to enter the Delete screen. Press on Yes (Figure 8).
C-2. Configuring Legacy RAID ROM Enter the Intel® legacy RAID BIOS setup utility to configure a RAID array. Skip this step and proceed with the installation of Windows operating system for a non-RAID configuration. Step 1: After the POST memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins, look for a message which says "Press to enter Configuration Utility" (Figure 9). Press + to enter the RAID Configuration Utility. Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - Option ROM - 13.0.0.
Step 3: After entering the CREATE VOLUME MENU screen, enter a volume name with 1~16 letters (letters cannot be special characters) under the Name item and press . Then, select a RAID level (Figure 11). RAID levels supported include RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 (the selections available depend on the number of the hard drives being installed). Press to proceed. Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - Option ROM - 13.0.0.2075 Copyright (C) Intel Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Step 5: Enter the array capacity and press . Finally press on the Create Volume item to begin creating the RAID array. When prompted to confirm whether to create this volume, press to confirm or to cancel (Figure 13). Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - Option ROM - 13.0.0.2075 Copyright(C) Intel Corporation.

Recovery Volume Options Intel® Rapid Recover Technology provides data protection by allowing users to easily restore data and system operation using a designated recovery drive. With the Rapid Recovery Technology, which employs RAID 1 functionality, users can copy the data from the master drive to the recovery drive; if needed, the data on the recovery drive can be restored back to the master drive. Before you begin: •• The recovery drive must have equal or greater capacity than the master drive.
Step 3: Press under the Select Disks item. In the SELECT DISKS box, press on the hard drive you want to use for the master drive and press on the hard drive you want to use for the recovery drive. (Make sure the recovery drive has equal or larger capacity than the master drive.) Then press to confirm (Figure 17).

3-2 Installing the SATA RAID/AHCI Driver and Operating System With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system. A. Installing the Operating System As Windows 7 already include Intel® SATA RAID/AHCI driver, you do not need to install separate RAID/AHCI driver during the Windows installation process.
B. Rebuilding an Array Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 arrays. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive must have equal or greater capacity than the old one.) Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer.
•• Performing the Rebuild in the Operating System While in the operating system, make sure the chipset driver has been installed from the motherboard driver disk. Then launch the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology utility from the desktop. Step 2: Select a new drive to rebuild the RAID and click Rebuild. Step 1: Go to the Manage menu and click Rebuild to another disk in Manage Volume. The Status item on the left of the screen displays the rebuild progress.
•• Restoring the Master Drive to a Previous State (for Recovery Volume only) When two hard drives are set to Recovery Volume in Update on Request mode, you can restore the master drive data to the last backup state when needed. For example, in case the master drive detects a virus, you can restore the recovery drive data to the master drive. Step 1: Select 4. Recovery Volume Options in the MAIN MENU of the Intel® RAID Configuration Utility.
Chapter 4 Appendix Drivers Installation • Before installing the drivers, first install the operating system. (The following instructions use Windows 8.1 as the example operating system.) • After installing the operating system, insert the motherboard driver disk into your optical drive. Click on the message "Tap to choose what happens with this disc" on the top-right corner of the screen and select "Run Run.exe." (Or go to My Computer, double-click the optical drive and execute the Run.exe program.
