You can also set up a “RAID Ready” system with a single SATA hard disk. A “RAID Ready” system can be seamlessly upgraded to RAID 0 or RAID 1 at a later date by using RAID migration feature of Intel Matrix Storage. The following steps outline how to build an Intel “RAID Ready” system.
1. Assemble the system and attach a single SATA hard drive.
2. Set up system BIOS as step 1 of page 26. When done, exit Setup.
3. Make a SATA driver diskette as step 2 of page 26. Begin Windows setup by booting from the installation CD.
4. At the beginning of Windows setup, press F6 to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver. When prompted, insert a floppy disk containing the Intel RAID driver. After reading the floppy disk, the driver will be presented. Select the driver to install according to the mode you choose and the OS you install.

1. Physically attach one additional SATA hard drive to the SATA port not being used. Note the serial number of the hard drive already in the system; you will use this to select it as the source hard drive when initiating the migration.
2. Boot Windows, install the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager software, if not already installed, using the setup package obtained from a CD-ROM or from the Internet. This will install the necessary Intel Storage Utility and start menu links.
3. Open the Intel Storage Utility from the Start Menu and select “Create RAID volume from Existing Hard Drive” from the Actions menu. This will activate the Create RAID volume from Existing Hard Drive Wizard. Click through the dialogs as prompted. It’s important to understand what will occur during the migration process because any data on the destination hard drive will be lost.
4. Once the migration is complete, reboot the system. If you migrated to a RAID 0 volume, use Disk Management from within Windows in order to partition and format the empty space created when the two hard drive capacities are combined. You may also use third-party software to extend any existing partitions within the RAID volume.
