• After the RAID set is conﬁ gured, exit the menu and restart the computer. The RAID set is now

available in Windows as a conventional hard disk, which must be partitioned and formatted.

For Windows, the combination of both hard disks (or of one SSD and a hard disk) appears as

one single drive.

☞

If the operating system must be installed on the RAID set (e.g. Windows 7), then

the booting sequence must be modiﬁ ed in the BIOS/Setup for the computer/mother-

board or booting via an additional controller must be allowed.

The driver for the plug-in card must be integrated at the very beginning of the Win-

dows installation. You can ﬁ nd further information in the manufacturer’s English op-

erating instructions.

Tips & Notes

• When creating a RAID set, any data that is already stored on the hard disks connected to the

RAID controller will be destroyed!

• The plug-in card also supports optical drives (e.g. DVD burner).

• If no RAID set is created, the connected hard disks run as conventional, individual hard disks.

In this case, the plug-in card functions as a conventional SATA controller without RAID.

Disposal
