Technical Product Specification

Intel Desktop Board DZ68ZV Technical Product Specification

1.6.3.1 SATA RAID

The board supports the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels

via the PCH:

• RAID 0 - data striping

• RAID 1 - data mirroring

• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring

• RAID 5 - distributed parity

RAID functionality is only supported when using drives connected to the six SATA

connectors (black) from the PCH.

NOTE

In order to use supported RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS. Also,

during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID drivers.

See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about installing

drivers during installation. Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows 7

include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the need to install

separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system installation process.
