DFI-ITOX G4C600-R User Manual page 49

Drives in an array must be identical. If striping for performance, use
two new drives. If mirroring for protection, you can use two new
drives or use an existing drive and a new drive (the new drive must
be the same size or larger than the existing drive). Only two drives
can be configured as RAID. Since both of these drives must be in
Master mode, striping or mirroring must be done between 2 RAID
IDE channels; not between 2 drives that are chained on the same
channel.
Note:
Only connect IDE hard drives to the RAID IDE connectors.
BIOS Setting
1. Enable or disable the HighPoint RAID controller in the Inte-
grated Peripherals submenu of the Award BIOS. If the hard
drives connected to the RAID IDE connectors will not be
configured as RAID, make sure to set the "RAID Device Con-
trol" field to Disabled.
2. Configure and manage RAID in the HighPoint BIOS Configura-
tion Utility. Refer to chapter 3 for more information.
Driver Installation
Install the HighPoint RAID drivers and utility. Refer to chapter 4
