RAID configurations

The motherboard includes a high performance IDE RAID controller integrated in

the NVIDIA

®

SLI southbridge chipset. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and

JBOD with four independent Serial ATA channels.

Setting the BIOS RAID items

After installing the hard disk drives, make sure to set the necessary RAID items in

the BIOS before setting your RAID configuration.
To set the BIOS RAID items:

1. Boot the system and press during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to

enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

2. From the Advanced > Onboard Devices Configuration > NVRAID

Configuration menu item in the BIOS set the RAID Enabled item to Enabled.

The succeeding items become user-configurable.

3. Select and enable the IDE or SATA drive(s) that you want to configure as

RAID. See section “5.4.3 Onboard Devices Configuration” for details.

4. Save your changes and Exit Setup.

For detailed descriptions on the NVIDIA® RAID configuration, refer to the

“NVIDIA

®

RAID User’s Manual” found in your motherboard support CD.
