6.1.4 RAID configuration utility
You can create a RAID set using the utility embedded in the RAID controller.
For example, you can use the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility if you
installed SATA hard disk drives on the SATA connectors supported by the
Intel® 6300ESB Southbridge.
The Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility allows you to create RAID 0 and
RAID 1 set using the SATA hard disk drives connected to the SATA connectors
supported by the motherboard Southbridge chip.
To enter the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility:
1.
Turn on the system after installing all the SATA hard disk drives.
2.
During POST, the Adaptec HostRAIDâ„¢ technology automatically detects
the installed SATA hard disk drives and displays any existing RAID set(s).
Press <Ctrl> <A> to enter the utility.
