If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10
configuration with the Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology through the onboard Intel ® H87
chipset.

ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the SATA Mode item in the BIOS to [RAID
Mode]. Refer to section 3.6.3 SATA Configuration for details.
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to section 5.1 RAID configurations or the manual
bundled in the motherboard support DVD.
• When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the type of the SATA connectors in the BIOS to
