Setting Up SATA RAID Mode
You may use your identical (see sidebar) hard disks (if you have included more than
one hard disk in your purchase option) in combination with Striping (RAID 0), Mir-
roring (RAID 1) or Parity Across Disks (RAID 5) for fault tolerance and data recov-
ery (see
Table 7 - 1, on page 7 - 3 ).
To configure your system in Striping (RAID 0) or Mirroring (RAID 1) modes you
will require at least two hard disks; to configure your system in Parity Across Disks
(RAID 5) mode you will require three hard disks installed.
Intel ® Matrix Storage Manager
Make sure you install the Intel Matrix driver and application if you have set up your
hard disk(s) in RAID mode (see
“Intel® Matrix Driver Installation” on page 7 - 7 ).

RAID Hard Disks
All hard disks in a RAID
should be identical (the
same size and brand) in
order to prevent unex-
pected system behavior.
