Refer to the RAID controllers user manual in the motherboard support DVD for 

detailed information on RAID configurations. See section 5.2.5 Manuals menu.

The motherboard includes a high performance SATA RAID controller integrated in 

the NVIDIA

 nForce

®

 790i Ultra SLI™ chipset. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 

10, and RAID 5 for six independent Serial ATA channels.

The motherboard supports Ultra DMA 133/100/66 and Serial ATA hard disk drives. 

For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity 

when creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for a RAID configuration:

1.  Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.
2.  Connect the SATA signal cables.
3.  Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

After installing the hard disk drives, make sure to set the necessary RAID items in 

the BIOS before setting your RAID configuration.
To set the BIOS RAID items:

1.  Boot the system and press <Del> during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to 

enter the BIOS Setup Utility. 

2.  Go to Main > IDE Configuration and enable the nVidia RAID Function item 

in the BIOS. See section 4.3.7 IDE Configuration for details.

3.  Enable the SATA 1/2/3/4/5/6 drive(s) that you want to configure as RAID. See 

section 4.3.7 IDE Configuration for details.

4.  Save your changes and Exit Setup.

For detailed descriptions on the NVIDIA

®

 RAID configuration, refer to the 

NVIDIA RAID User Guide found in your motherboard support DVD.

Make sure to re-enter your NVRAID settings after the CMOS is cleared; 

otherwise, the system will not recognize your RAID setup.
