Setting Up NVIDIA RAID Configuration

There are two ways to setup NVIDIA RAID Configuration: one is to create a RAID
1 Array for backup or a RAID 0 Array for increased performance just by adding
additional disk array without changing the original OS (Non-Bootable RAID Array);
while the other is to configure the RAID Array disks when reinstalling the OS
(Bootable RAID Array).

Setting Up a Non-Bootable RAID Array

RAID arrays can be created/deleted using both MediaShield RAID BIOS and the
MediaShield RAID Manager from Windows. This section only covers basic BIOS
setup required for non-bootable array. See the section "Setting Up a Bootable RAID
Array" for instructions on configuring the RAID array in BIOS. See sections on using
the MediaShield RAID Manager for details on configuring non-bootable RAID from
Windows.
