Configuring SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup
Make sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup.
Step 1:
Turn on your computer and press
Under Integrated Peripherals, ensure NV Serial-ATA Controller is enabled (Figure 1). Then, go to
the SATA-II RAID Config submenu (Figure 2).
Figure 1
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.
Step 2:
Save changes and exit BIOS Setup.
To create a RAID array, set Onchip SATA Mode to RAID (or set to IDE or AHCI for non-RAID
configuration). Then, enable RAID functionality for the SATA connectors with hard drives that you want
to use for RAID. For example, SATA-II Pri-Master RAID is for the SATAII0 connector and SATA-II Pri-
Slave RAID for the SATAII1 connector. (Figure 2). To create a RAID array on hard drive connected to
the eSATA 3Gb/s port on the back panel, set SATA-II Sec-Slave RAID to Enabled.
