5-2 Chapter 5: RAID configuration
5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives
The motherboard supports Serial ATA (both models) and SCSI hard
disk drives (SCSI model only) for RAID set configuration. For optimal
performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when
creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration:
1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the
instructions in the system user guide.
2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of
each drive and to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.
To install the SCSI hard disks for RAID configuration:
1. Install the SCSI hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions
in the system user guide.
2. Connect the SCSI interface cable connectors at the back of the SCSI
drives.
3. Connect the other end of the SCSI interface cable to the SCSI
connector on the motherboard.
5.1.3 RAID configuration utility
You can create a RAID set using the utility embedded in each RAID
controller. For example, you can use the NVIDIA ® RAID Utility if you installed
SATA hard disk drives to the SATA connectors supported by the NVIDIA ®
nForce Professional 2200 chip. Refer to the succeeding sections for details
on how to enter the RAID configuration utility.
