Configuring RAID
The following describes the basic steps on configuring RAID.
1. Set the “Sil3114 S-ATA RAID Control” field to “SATA RAID”.
(Genie BIOS Setting submenu of the Award BIOS.)
2. Reboot the PC.
3. When the system powers-up, the Sil3114 SataRAID BIOS status
message screen will appear. Press the <Ctrl-S> or <F4> key to
enter the utility. The utility allows you to build a RAID system on
Serial ATA drives.
4. Install the Silicon Image RAID driver.
If you are in the process of installing Windows
®
XP or
Windows
®
2000 on RAID configured Serial ATA drives, you will
need the provided “Silicon Image Sil3114 RAID Drivers” diskette.
If you are installing the driver on existing Windows
®
XP or
Windows
®
2000, install the Silicon Image Sil3114 RAID driver
from the provided CD.
For steps 1 to 3, refer to chapter 3 for more information. For step
4, refer to chapter 4 for more information.
Important:
Before creating RAID, make sure you have installed the Serial/
Parallel ATA drives and connected the data cables otherwise you
won’t be able to enter the NVIDIA or Silicon Image RAID BIOS
utility.
