Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure
that you have connected the Serial ATA signal cable and installed
Serial ATA hard disk drives; ; otherwise, you cannot enter the Silicon
Image RAID utility and SATA BIOS setup during POST.
You can only create a RAID 5 set using the SATALink™ SATA RAID
Management software. See Chapter 5 for details. The RAID 5 feature
is not Windows ® Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL)-certified.
