RAID connector.
NOTE: You must use an 80-wire, 40-pin cable when
connecting a hard drive to the RAID connector.
2-2 Creating Your Disk Array (Picture below are shown in ATA 133 RAID Function)
You will now use the FastBuild BIOS utility to create your array using the
attached drives. There are three different scenarios in creating this array.
You can create an array for performance, you can create a Security array
using new hard drives (recommended), or you can create a Security array
using an existing hard drive and a new hard drive.
WARNING: If creating a Security array using an existing
hard drive, backup any necessary data. Failure to follow this
accepted PC practice could result in data loss.
