5. RAID Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA_RAID1, SATA_RAID2)
These Serial ATA connectors support SATA hard disks that you can
configure as a RAID set. Through the onboard Promise
®
PDC20378
RAID controller, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1,or RAID 0+1
configuration together with the RAID ATA133 connector (PRI_RAID).
• By default, the RAID connector is set as RAID. If you want to use it
as an independent drive, set the Operation Mode to IDE Mode
under the Advanced menu.
•To create a RAID set, make sure that you have connected the
Serial ATA cable and installed Serial ATA devices. You cannot enter
the SATARaid™ utility and SATA BIOS setup during POST if no
Serial ATA device is connected.
• The Promise
®
PDC20378 RAID controller does not support ATAPI
devices such as CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, etc.
• Refer to section “5.6.2 Promise
®
RAID Configurations” for details
on SATA RAID configuration.
