The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set configuration. For optimal 

performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating 

a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration:
1.  Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the 

system user guide.

2.  Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive 

and to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

3.  Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set 

from SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by the 

Intel

®

 ICH9R Southbridge chip. To do this:

1.  Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2.  Go to the Main Menu > IDE Configuration, then press <Enter>.
3.  Set the SATA#1 Configuration item to [Enhanced].
4.  Set the Configure SATA#1 as item to [RAID].
5.  Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup.

Refer to Chapter 5 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS 

Setup.

Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using 

the utilities embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the LSI Software 

RAID Configuration Utility or the Intel

 Matrix Storage Manager if you installed 

Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Intel

®

 

ICH9R Southbridge.
Refer to the succeeding sections for details on how to use each RAID configuration 

utility.
