[ ] Up

2. Use the arrow keys to go to the field Optimize Array for and select

"Performance" with the space bar. The Mode field displays "Stripe".

3. After making a selection, press <Ctrl-Y> to save and create a RAID 0

array.

4. Press any key to reboot the system. During the boot process, the

MBFastTrak378 BIOS checks and displays the disk array information.

5. Once the array is created, use the FDISK utility to format the array as a

single hard drive.

6. After you have formatted the arrayed drives, install an operating

system (OS). The OS will treat the RAID 0 array as a single drive unit.

7. Install the RAID driver from the support CD that came with the

motherboard package.

Depending on the operating system you are installing, you may need

to install the RAID driver during or after the OS installation.
