3.5.3 Creating a RAID 0 array (Performance)

1. In the FastBuild™ utility main menu, press <1> to select Auto Setup. The

following screen appears.

2. Use the arrow keys to go to the field Optimize Array for and select

Performance with the space bar. The Mode field displays “Stripe”.

3. After making a selection, press to save and create a RAID 0 array.

4. Press any key to reboot the system. During the boot process, the

MBFastTrak376 BIOS checks and displays the disk array information.

5. Once the array is created, use the FDISK utility to format the array as a single

hard drive.

6. After you have formatted the arrayed drives, install an operating system (OS).

The OS will treat the RAID 0 array as a single drive unit.

7. Install the RAID driver from the support CD that came with the motherboard

package.
