Ensure that NV SATA RAID function is enabled (Figure 2). Then enable the SATA controller/channel
with hard disks that you want to use for RAID (NV SATA 1 controls the SATAII1 and SATAII2 connectors;
NV SATA 2 controls the SATAII3 and SATAII4 connectors. For example, if you wish to create RAID with
hard disks on the SATAII1 and SATAII2 connectors, ensure that NV SATA 1 Primary RAID and NV
SATA 1 Secondary RAID are enabled (Figure 2).
