5.1.2 Installing Serial ATA hard disks
The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal performance, install
identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for a RAID conguration:
1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.
2. Connect the SATA signal cables.
3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.
5.1.3 Setting the RAID item in BIOS
You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set from SATA
hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by Intel® C621 chipset.
To do this:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Go to the Chipset menu > PCH-IO Configuration menu > SATA And RST
Configuration, then press <Enter>.
3. Set SATA Mode Selection to [Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System
Acceleration].
4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.
Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.
5.1.4 RAID configuration utilities
Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using the utilities
embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology
if you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by the
Intel
®
C246 chipset.
Refer to the succeeding section for details on how to use the RAID conguration utility.
