NOTE: For more information about RAID options, see System Setup Screens.

NOTE: Although any size drives may be used to create a RAID configuration using the Intel RAID Option ROM utility, ideally the drives should be of equal

size. In a RAID level 0 configuration, the size of the configuration will be the size of the smallest drive multiplied by the number (two) of drives in the

configuration. In a RAID level 1 configuration, the size of the configuration will be the smaller of the two drives used. If you want to migrate existing

data, see Configuring for RAID Using the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

NOTICE: You will lose any data on your hard drives when you create a RAID configuration using the following procedure. Back up data you want to

keep before continuing.

NOTE: Use the following procedure only if you are reinstalling your operating system. Do not use the following procedure to migrate an existing storage

configuration to RAID level 0 configuration.

NOTE: For RAID 0, select the strip size closest to the size of the average file you want to store on the RAID volume. If you do not know the average file

size, choose 128 KB as your strip size.

NOTE: When you perform this operation, all data on the RAID drives will be lost.

NOTE: For RAID 0 only, if your computer currently boots to RAID and you delete the RAID volume in the Intel RAID Option ROM utility, your computer will

become unbootable.
