Chapter 5: RAID Configuration
RAID Configuration
This chapter provides instructions for setting up, creating, and configuring RAID sets using the available utilities.

5-2
5.1 Setting up RAID
The motherboard supports the following SATA RAID solutions:
•
LSI MegaRAID software RAID Configuration Utility
10 support (for both Linux and Windows OS).
with RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID
•
Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option ROM Utility
with RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 10, and RAID 5 support (for Windows OS only).
5.1.1 RAID definitions
RAID 0
(Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is required for this setup.
RAID 1
(Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID configuration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the same size or larger than the existing drive.
RAID 10
is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data) having to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 configuration you get all the benefits of both
RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive and three new drives for this setup.
RAID 5
stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. Among the advantages of RAID 5 configuration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 configuration is best suited for transaction processing, relational database applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems.
Use a minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup.
• If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID set, copy first the RAID driver from the support DVD to a floppy disk before you install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive.
• Please refer to chapter 2 for how to select the RAID configuration utility. Move the jumper to choose between LSI MegaRAID and Intel
®
Rapid RAID.
Chapter 5: RAID configuration
5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives
The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set configuration. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration:
1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system user guide.
2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.
5.1.3 Setting the RAID item in BIOS
You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set from SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by Intel ® C612 chipset.
To do this:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Go to the
Advanced
Menu >
PCH SATA Configuration
, then press <Enter>.
3. Set
SATA Mode
to [RAID Mode]
4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.
Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.
5.1.4 RAID configuration utilities
Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using the utilities embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the
LSI MegaRAID Software
Configuration Utility
or the
Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology
if you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Intel
®
C612 chipset.
Refer to the succeeding section for details on how to use the RAID configuration utility.
ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS 5-3
5.2 LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility
The LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility allows you to create RAID 0, RAID 1, or
RAID 10 set(s) from SATA hard disk drives connected to the SATA connectors supported by the motherboard southbridge chip.
To enter the LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility:
1. Turn on the system after installing all the SATA hard disk drives.
2. During POST, the LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility automatically detects the installed SATA hard disk drives and displays any existing RAID set(s).
Press <Ctrl> + <M> to enter the utility.

Press Ctrl-M or Enter to run LSI Software RAID Setup Utility.
• The LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility automatically configures to
RAID 1 when the SATA to RAID Mode is enabled.
• The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not exactly match the items on your screen due to the controller version difference.
• When you create RAID sets with the LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility, the boot priority of the SATA optical drive has to be manually adjusted.
Otherwise, the system will not boot from the connected SATA ODD.
3. The utility main window appears. Use the arrow keys to select an option from the
Management Menu
and then press <Enter>. Refer to the Management Menu descriptions on the next page.
At the bottom of the screen is the legend box. The keys on the legend box allow you to navigate through the setup menu options or execute commands. The keys on the legend box vary according to the menu level.

SATA/SSATA Option ROM Utility
The Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA/SSATA Option ROM utility allows you to create RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 (RAID 1+0), and RAID 5 set from Serial ATA hard disk drives that are connected to the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Southbridge.
Before you proceed, ensure that you have installed the Serial ATA hard disk drives, have set the correct jumper settings of the motherboard, and have set the correct SATA mode in the BIOS setup. You can refer to the
Installing hard disk drives, Setting Jumpers
, and
Setting the RAID mode sections in BIOS
for more information.
To launch the Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA/SSATA Option ROM utility:
1. Turn on the system.
2. During POST, press <Ctrl>+<I> to display the utility main menu.
