Configuring Intel SATA RAID
This section describes how to use Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology (RST) to set up and manage
SATA RAID volumes.
NOTE: These instructions apply to Windows-based systems. They also apply to Linux distributions
that include the isci kernel driver support for the RSTe technology. This driver is included on recent
releases of most upstream and enterprise distributions, and may be available for addition to some
previous releases. If this driver is not available in the distribution, or is not applicable to the platform
(e.g., the RST controller), the Software RAID solution is recommended.
You can create a SATA RAID array that contains up to the maximum number of internal SATA hard
drives and eSATA drives (if you use an optional eSATA bulkhead cable) supported on your
workstation.
The Intel SATA option ROM configuration utilities run when you select RAID for the SATA emulation
mode.
Two or more hard drives must be attached to the controller for the option ROM to run.
Configuring system BIOS
To set up a RAID configuration, the emulation mode must be set to RAID in Computer Setup (f10)
Utility. This is the default setting. If the mode has been changed, follow these steps to reinstate it.
1. During startup, press esc to select a language from the list, and then select Computer Setup
(f10) Utility.
2. Under Computer Setup (f10) Utility, use the arrow keys to navigate and select options.
3. Select Storage > Storage Options, then press enter.
4. Select SATA Emulation > RAID, then press f10 to accept the new settings.
5. Select Advanced > Power-On Options, then press enter.
6. Select POST Messages > Enable, and then press f10 to accept the new settings.
7. Select Advanced > Device Options, then press enter.
8. Select SATA RAID Option ROM Download, then press enter.
9. Select Enable, then press f10 to accept the new settings.
10. Select File > Save Changes and Exit, then press enter.
11. Press enter to accept the changes.
