RAID configuration utilities

RAID on the AT110 system is provided through either the onboard

SATA controller or through a controller board option.

Caution: Creating a RAID volume erases all data previously saved

in the hard drives. Make sure that you back up important files

before starting a RAID configuration process.

This section explains how to create a RAID volume using the onboard

SATA controller.

Enabled.

Press <F10>.

Utility.
