SATA RAID Support
The Intel® Server System SR1520ML provides SATA (3.0 Gb/s) support.The embedded
SATA controller embedded supports both 1.5 and 3.0 Gbps data transfer rates. The Intel®
RAID Technology solution, available with the ICH9R, offers data striping for higher
performance (RAID Level 0) and mirroring for higher reliability (RAID Level 1).
The BIOS Setup utility provides multiple drive configuration options on the Advanced |
ATA Controller setup page, some of which affect the ability to configure RAID. The
“Onboard SATA Controller” option is enabled by default. When this option is enabled, the
“Configure SATA as” option can be set to either IDE, AHCI, or RAID.
For assistance in navigating through the F2 BIOS Setup utility, see the Intel® Server
Board X38ML Technical Product Specification.
For information about setting up RAID, see the RAID Software Guide that is included on
the Intel® Server Deployment Toolkit 2.0 CD.
