Configuring SATA RAID

NOTE
The Serial ATA boot and Serial ATA RAID options are disabled by default
in the BIOS Setup program. To boot from an SATA drive, the Serial ATA
boot option must be enabled in BIOS. To access the RAID Configuration
Utility, the Serial ATA RAID option must be enabled in BIOS.
•
When prompted to do so during POST, press the <Ctrl> and <S> keys
simultaneously to enter the RAID Configuration Utility.
•
After entering the RAID Configuration Utility, select the Create RAID set
option and follow the ensuing directions to create a Striped (RAID 0) or
Mirrored (RAID 1) set.
•
Exit the RAID Configuration Utility.
For more detailed information on configuring SATA RAID, reference the
Intel Desktop Board D845PEBT2 Product Guide on the Intel Express Installer
CD-ROM.

SATA RAID or SATA driver can be installed from the Intel Express Installer
CD-ROM.
