5-5 Setting Up a Non-Bootable RAID Array

This section assumes the following setup :
■ Boot Disk with Windows XP installed :

One hard disk HDS728090PLAT20 (80GB) is connected to the IDE channel, and set

to Master.

■ A Mirrored RAID Array Disk :

Two SATA hard disks are configured as a mirrored RAID1 array, they are :
Hitachi HDT725025VLA3, (250.05GB) connected to lower SATA port of SATA3_
SATA4 of the motherboard.
Seagate ST3320620AS, (320.07GB) connected to upper SATA port of SATA3_
SATA4 of the motherboard.

■ A SATA DVD Drive :

A DVD drive connected to lower SATA port of SATA1_SATA2 of the motherboard.

1. Reboot your system, and go to "IDE Configuration" menu.

Enable the RAID function. Press [F10] to save the settings and reboot.

To achieve the best performance and reliability, we highly recommend you

using the hard disks with the same brand, size and model number. Though
we are using different brand of hard disks as an example here, the purpose
is only for easy understanding.
