NANO-9452 EPIC Motherboard E.1 Introduction The Intel® ICH7R chipset can provide data protection for serial ATA (SATA) disks via the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager using one of three fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1, 5 or 10. When using two hard drives, matrix RAID allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 functions to be combined, where critical files can be stored on RAID 1, and RAID 0 can be used for non-critical items such as software.
PAGE 241
NANO-9452 EPIC Motherboard CAUTION! Do not accidentally disconnect the SATA drive cables. Carefully route the cables within the chassis to avoid system down time. E.2 Features and Benefits Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 Supports connectivity to two or more disk drives Supported Operating Systems include: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista E.3 Accessing the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager To access the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager, please follow the steps below.
