The motherboard supports 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.

This motherboard supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and Intel

®

 Matrix Storage 

configurations for Serial ATA hard disks drives through the Intel

®

 ESB2E 

Southbridge chip.

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

set(s). To do this:
1.  Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2.  Go to the Main Menu, select Storage Configuration, then press <Enter>.

3.  Select the item Configure SATA as, then press <Enter> to display the 

configuration options.

4.  Select RAID from the Configure SATA as item options, then press <Enter>.

5.  Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup.

See Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.

If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID 

set, copy first the RAID driver from the support DVD to a floppy disk before you 

install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive. Refer to section 

Creating.a.RAID.driver.disk for details.
