Configuring your onboard RAID solution
Your server comes equipped with an onboard chipset for a SATA RAID solution, which 
supports
 
RAID levels 0 (striping), 1 (mirroring), 5 (distributed data and parity), and 10 
(RAID 0 + 1). You enable the onboard RAID solution in the BIOS (See SATA - 
) and 
configured by launching the appropriate RAID BIOS console during the boot process.

Tips & Tricks

moved back enough to lock the drive into place.
