Configuring the onboard SATA software RAID

The onboard SATA software RAID controller is integrated in the Intel C202 chip on the system board. If your server has SATA hard disk drives that are connected to the system board, you can use the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program to configure RAID independently of the operating system.
