RAID configurations

The motherboard includes a high performance IDE RAID controller

integrated in the NVIDIA

SLI southbridge chipset. It supports RAID 0, RAID

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.

(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
