RAID Configuration
Basic Configuration Instructions
The following are the basic steps for configuring NVRAID:
Non-Bootable RAID Array
1. Choose the hard disks that are to be RAID enabled in the system BIOS. (Refer the
bios section for details.)
2. Specify the RAID level, either Mirroring (RAID 1), Striping (RAID 0), Striping and
Mirroring (RAID 0+1), RAID 5 or JBOD and create the desired RAID array.
3. Enter the Windows OS, run the Windows nForce Setup application and install the
RAID software. (Check B-8 for details.)
4. Initialize the NVRAID Array Disks.
Bootable RAID Array
1. Choose the hard disks that are to be RAID enabled in the system BIOS. (Refer the
bios section for details.)
2. Specify the RAID level, either Mirroring (RAID 1), Striping (RAID 0), Striping and
Mirroring (RAID 0+1), RAID 5 or JBOD and create the desired RAID array.
3. Boot from the Windows CD, use the floppy disk that has the RAID driver to copy
and install the nForce RAID software. (Check p.B-7 for details.)
4. Initialize the NVRAID Array Disks.
Setting Up the NVRAID BIOS
Be sure to enable the RAID function in SATA Channel of Integrated Peripherals
in BIOS before configuring the NVRAID BIOS. After that press F10 to save the con-
figuration and exit. The PC will reboot right away. Then enter the RAID BIOS Setup by
pressing F10 when prompted, and follow the procedures described below to set up
the NVRAID BIOS.

want to make part of the array.
Entering the RAID BIOS Setup
1. After rebooting your PC, wait until you
see the RAID software prompting you
to press F10. The RAID prompt appears
as part of the system POST and boot
process prior to loading the OS.
2. Press F10, and the NVIDIA RAID Utility
--- Define a New Array window will
appear.
The default RAID Mode is set to Mir-
roring and Striping Block is set to
Optimal.
