In the "SATA Mode Selection" at the top, the default will be AHCI. Click on the arrow
to the right side of AHCI or navigate to it with your keyboard and press "Enter" to
open the pulldown menu. Select RAID from the list.
RAID mode not only includes the RAID controls, but also shares the same
options/functions/commands as AHCI; you may continue using your AHCI devices
normally when the SATA Configuration is set to RAID mode.
The SATA Information menu shows a list of all drives currently detected by the
controller. Make sure the list in your BIOS matches what you have plugged in. If it does
not, reseat cables on the device(s) in question. If the issue persists, please check the
troubleshooting section on Page 147.
Once RAID is enabled and all devices are detected, press F10 to save and exit. Upon
reboot, repeatedly press "Delete" to reenter the BIOS. Once in the BIOS, go back to
the "Advanced" tab where you'll find a new item at the bottom of the list called "Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology."
The Intel Rapid Storage Technology utility in the BIOS replaces the Intel RAID
® ®
manager that was previously launched outside of the BIOS in previous generation
motherboards. Due to the current bootup process, speed of processors, and UEFI the
previous method made accessing the Intel RAID manager nearly impossible. This is
®
the same controller that was previously accessed by CTRL-I; now, it is fully accessible
within the BIOS/UEFI.
