Setting Up a “RAID Ready” System

The Intel Matrix Storage Technology Console software offers the flexibility to upgrade from a single Serial ATA drive to RAID without reinstalling the operating system, when a second SATA hard drive is added to the system.

Follow the steps described above in: "Configuring the BIOS" and "Loading the Intel Matrix Storage Technology RAID Drivers and Software."

Once additional SATA drives have been added to the system, open the Intel Matrix Storage Technology Console Software and follow the directions to update to a RAID setup.
