RAID Config Screen
5From the RAID Config window, globally enable RAID, then enable the SATA ports
with disks that you want to use for RAID.
If RAID is enabled globally but not enabled on the individual SATA port, disks on that
port can only be used for non-RAID applications.
In the example in Figure 2.7, three SATA ports are enabled, so the non-bootable RAID
array can include up to 3 SATA disks. If there is a disk Connected to ʺSATA 2
Secondaryʺ, it cannot be used for RAID.
