15-3 Managing Legacy RAID Groups
with the BIOS RAID Utility
(For Windows Only)
On Windows and Linux platforms with RAID controllers that have two or more ports, you can create and manage
legacy RAID sets and JBOD using the BIOS RAID utility or the SATARAID5 GUI
. You can create and manage
new RAID groups only from the SATARAID5 Manager GUI.
Utility Overview
During the system boot-up process and before the Operating System loads, the following message appears for about
5 seconds. Press CTRL+S or the F4 key to enter the BIOS RAID utility.
If you are prompted whether to enable large disk support, respond Y so that you can create RAID groups on large
disks that the BIOS RAID utility detected.
