Please follow the steps below to construct a complete RAID array:
1) Have ready your hard drives for RAID construction.
Note: To achieve best performance, it is recommended that the hard drives used are of similar make
and storage capacity.
2) Please attach the hard drive connectors to their appropriate location on the motherboard ie. IDE, SCSI,
or SATA.
3) Enter the motherboard BIOS and locate RAID setup (Please refer to the section on Integrated Peripherals).
4) Enter RAID setup in the BIOS and select the RAID type (For instance, enter Ctrl + A to select ULi RAID;
Ctrl + S to select Silicon Image).
5) Complete driver installation.
6) Complete RAID utility installation.
More information on steps 4 and 5 is provided. (For more detailed setup information, please visit our website
at http:\\www.gigabyte.com.tw to read or download the information you need.)
Configuring the ULi RAID BIOS
The ULi RAID BIOS setup utility lets you choose the RAID array type and which hard drives you want to
make part of the array.
Entering the RAID BIOS Setup
1. After rebooting your computer, wait until you see the RAID software prompting you to press Ctrl + A. The
RAID prompt appears as part of the system POST and boot process prior to loading the OS. You have a few
seconds to press Ctrl + A before the window disappears.
Press Ctrl + A.
The ULi RAID BIOS Setup Utility window appears (as Figure below).
