Unique Features - 75 - Appendix Chapter 5 Appendix 5-1 Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) RAID Levels RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 5 RAID 10 Minimum Number of Hard Drives .2 2 .3 .4 Array Capacity Number of hard drives * Size of the smallest drive Size of the smallest drive (Number of hard drives -1) * Size of the smallest drive (Number of hard drives/2) * Size of the smallest drive Fault Tolerance No Yes Yes Yes To configure SATA hard drive(s), follow the steps below: A. Install SATA hard drive(s) in your computer. B. Configure SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup. C. Configure a RAID array in RAID BIOS. (Note 1) D. Install the SATA RAID/AHCI driver and operating system. (Note 2) Before you begin Please prepare: ••At least two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID, you may prepare only one hard drive. ••Windows 7/XP setup disk. ••Motherboard driver disk. ••A USB floppy disk drive (needed during Windows XP installation) ••An empty formatted floppy disk (needed during Windows XP installation) 5-1-1 Configuring SATA Controllers A. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your computer Attach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available SATA port(Note 3) on the motherboard. Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive. (Note 1) Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID array on the SATA controller. (Note 2) Required when the SATA controller is set to AHCI or RAID mode. (Note 3) When a RAID set is built across the SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s channels, the system performance of the RAID set may vary depending on the devices being connected. Appendix - 76 - 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). To create RAID, set SATA Mode Selection under the Peripherals menu to RAID (Figure 1). If you do not want to create RAID, set this item to IDE or AHCI. (IDE by default) Figure 1 Step 2: Save changes and exit BIOS Setup. The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may differ from the exact settings for your motherboard. The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard you have and the BIOS version. Appendix C. Configuring a RAID array in RAID BIOS Enter the 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 2). Press + to enter the RAID Configuration Utility. Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology - Option ROM - 11.0.0.1339 Copyright(C) 2003-11 Intel Corporation. All Rights Reserved. RAID Volumes : None defined.
