RAID configurations

The motherboard includes a high performance IDE RAID controller

integrated in the NVIDIA

®

SLI southbridge chipset. It supports RAID 0, RAID

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 “4.4.3 Onboard Devices Configuration” for

details.

4. Save your changes and Exit Setup.
