Chapter 3 Appendix
3-1 Confguring a RAID Set
(Note) An M.2 PCIe SSD cannot be used to set up a RAID set either with an M.2 SATA SSD or a SATA hard
drive.
Before you begin, please prepare the following items:
• At least two SATA hard drives or SSDs.
(Note)
(To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you
use two hard drives with identical model and capacity).
• Windows setup disk.
• Motherboard driver disk.
• A USB thumb drive.
Confguring the Onboard SATA Controller
A. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your computer
Install the hard drives/SSDs in the SATA/M.2 connectors on the motherboard. Then connect the power connectors
from your power supply to the hard drives.
B. Confguring SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup
Make sure to congure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup.
Steps:
Turn on your computer and press <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup during the POST (Power-On Sel-Test). Under
Settings\IO Ports, set SATA Confguration\SATA Mode to RAID. Then save the settings and restart your
computer. (I you want to use NVMe PCIe SSDs to congure RAID, make sure to set NVMe RAID mode to
Enabled.)
RAID Levels
The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may differ from the exact settings for your motherboard.
The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard you have and
the BIOS version.
