II.Using the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility
TheLSI Software RAID Configuration Utility allowsyoutocreateRAID 0, RAID1, or RAID 10set(s)fromSATAharddiskdrivesconnectedtotheSATAconnectorssupportedbythe motherboard.
1.Before you start
Before you proceed, ensure that you have installed the SerialATAhard disk drives, set the
correct jumper settings of the motherboard, and have set the correct SATAmode in the BIOS setup. You can refer to following sections for the instructions in Installing hard disk drives,
Setting Jumpers, and Setting the RAID mode in BIOS.
A.Installing hard disk drives
The motherboard supports SerialATAfor RAID set configuration. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SATAhard disks for RAID configuration:
1.Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system user guide.
2.Connect a SATAsignal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to the SATAconnector on the motherboard.
3.Connect a SATApower cable to the power connector on each drive.
B.Setting Jumpers
You must set the jumper settings of your motherboard to activate the LSI Software RAID
Configuration Utility.
To set the jumper settings, set the 3-pin RAID_SEL1 jumper to pins 1-2.
LSI
The motherboard illustration is for reference only. Visit www.asus.com for the complete list of supported motherboards,
LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility
C.Setting the RAID mode in BIOS
You must set the RAID mode in the BIOS Setup to be able to launch the RAID utilities before you can create a RAID set from the SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by Intel® C22x chipset.
To do this:
1.Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2.Go to the Advanced Menu > SATA Configuration, then press <Enter>.
3.Set SATA Mode to [RAID].
4.Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.
2.Launching the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility
To launch the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility:
1.Turn on the system.
2.During POST, the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility automatically detects the installed SATAhard disk drives and displays any existing RAID set(s). Press <Ctrl>+<M> to enter the utility.

• The LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility automatically configures to RAID 1 when the SATAto RAID Mode is enabled.
• The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not exactly match the items on your screen due to the controller version difference.
•When you create RAID sets with the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility , the boot priority of the SATAoptical drive has to be manually adjusted. Otherwise, the system will not boot from the connected SATAODD.
3.From the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility Management menu, use the arrow keys to select an option then press <Enter>. Refer to Table 1. Management Menu descriptions below for more information.
At the bottom of the screen is the legend box. The keys on the legend box allow you to navigate through the setup menu options or execute commands. The keys on the legend box vary according to the menu level.

3.Creating a RAID set
The LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility allows you to create a RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 10 set using two types of configurations: Easy and New.
In Easy Configuration, the virtual drive parameters are set automatically. In New Configuration, you can manually set the virtual drive parameters.
Using Easy Configuration
To create a RAID set using the Easy Configuration option:
1.From the Management Menu, select Configure > Easy Configuration then press <Enter>.
