Chapter 5: Setting Up NVIDIA RAID Configuration
The RAID Config window appears.
Figure 2.7 RAID Config Screen
5 From the RAID Config window, globally enable RAID, then enable the SATA ports
with disks that you want to use for RAID.
If RAID is enabled globally but not enabled on the individual SATA port, disks on
that port can only be used for non-RAID applications.
In the example in Figure 2.7, three SATA ports are enabled, so the non-bootable
RAID array can include up to 3 SATA disks. If there is a disk Connected to "SATA
2 Secondary", it can not be used for RAID.
