Digital Signage Player F.1 Introduction ® The Intel ICH9DO chipset can provide data protection for serial ATA (SATA) disks via the ® Intel Matrix Storage Manager using one of three fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1, 5 or 10. When using two hard drives, matrix RAID allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 functions to be combined, where critical files can be stored on RAID 1, and RAID 0 can be used for non-critical items such as software.
Digital Signage Player Do not accidentally disconnect the SATA drive cables. Carefully route the cables within the chassis to avoid system down time. F.2 Features and Benefits Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 Supports connectivity to two or more disk drives...
Digital Signage Player Save and Exit BIOS. After the SATA support option is enabled, save and exit Step 3: the BIOS. Reboot the system. Reboot the system after saving and exiting the BIOS.
