To set up a RAID array, ensure that NV SATA RAID function is enabled (Figure 2), otherwise leave it disabled. Then enable the SATA channels with hard disks that you want to use for RAID (for example, NV SATA 1Primary RAID controls the SATAII0 connector and NV SATA 1 Secondary RAID controls the SATAII1 connector) (Figure 2).
