Chapter 6: RAID configuration

The LSI Corporation MPT Setup Utility is an integrated RAID solution that allows you to 

create the following RAID sets from SAS hard disk drives supported by the LSI SAS 2308 

Series controller: RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1E, and RAID 10.

• 

You may use disks of different sizes in one volume; however, the size of the smallest 

disk determines the “logical” size of each member disk.

• 

DO NOT combine Serial ATA and SAS disk drives in one volume.

• 

You can enter the LSI Corporation MPT Setup Utility during POST stage by pressing 

<Ctrl>+<C>. 

• 

The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not 

exactly match the items on your screen due to the controller version difference.

• 

The adapter name shown on the setup screens differs according to the installed SAS 

RAID card.

• 

Before requesting support from the ASUS Technical Support team, you have to take 

note of the MPTFW and MPTBIOS version for the SAS RAID card. After entering the 

SAS configuration utility, yaou can see below screen and identify the MPTFW and 

MPTBIOS version: 

MPTFW version: 5.00.00.00-IR 

MPTBIOS version: v7.29.00.00 (2012.11.12)
