2. From the Main > IDE Configuration menu item in the BIOS set the nVidia
RAID Function item to Enabled.
3. Select and enable the SATA drive(s) that you want to configure as RAID. See
section “4.4.7 IDE Configuration” for details.
4. Save your changes and Exit Setup.
• For detailed descriptions on the NVIDIA® RAID configuration, refer to the

support CD.
• When using Windows 2000 operating system, make sure to install the
