Conguring Intel SATA RAID

This section describes how to use Intel

Rapid Storage Technology (RST) to set up and manage SATA RAID

volumes.

NOTE: These instructions apply to Windows-based systems.

You can create a SATA RAID array that contains up to the maximum number of internal SATA hard drives and

eSATA drives (if you use an optional eSATA bulkhead cable) supported on your workstation.

The Intel SATA option ROM conguration utilities run when you select RAID for the SATA emulation mode.

Two or more hard drives must be attached to the controller for the option ROM to run.

Conguring the system BIOS to enable embedded SATA RAID functionality
