To create a RAID array, set Onchip SATA Mode to RAID (or set to IDE or AHCI for non-RAID
configuration). Then, enable RAID functionality for the SATA connectors with hard drives that you want
to use for RAID. For example, SATA-II Pri-Master RAID is for the SATAII0 connector and SATA-II Pri-
Slave RAID for the SATAII1 connector. (Figure 2).
