4.2 BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using the

provided utility described in section 4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS.

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your

system, or prompted to “Run Setup.” This section explains how to configure your system

using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the configuration of

your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or

change the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using

the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them

in the CMOS RAM of the firmware chip.

The firmware chip on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the

computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Del>

during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues

with its test routines.

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del>,

or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the

system off then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven

program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from the

available options using the navigation keys.

• The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions to ensure

optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS

settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Press

<F5> and select Yes to load the BIOS default settings.

• The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and

may not exactly match what you see on your screen.

• Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS file for this

motherboard.

RAID Conguration

5-2 Chapter 5: RAID Conguration

5.1 Setting up RAID

The motherboard supports the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option ROM

Utility with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 support (for Windows OS and Linux).

5.1.1 RAID definitions

RAID 0

(Data striping)

optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in

parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a

sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access

and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is required for this setup.

RAID 1

(Data mirroring)

copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a

second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all applications

to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID

conguration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use

two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be

of the same size or larger than the existing drive.

RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data) having

to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 conguration you get all the benets of both

RAID 0 and RAID 1 congurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive and

three new drives for this setup.

RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. Among

the advantages of RAID 5 conguration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and

higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 conguration is best suited for transaction processing,

relational database applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems.

Use a minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup.

If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID set, copy

rst the RAID driver from the support DVD to a oppy disk before you install an operating

system to the selected hard disk drive.

ASUS P11C-I/NGFF2280 5-3

5.1.3 Setting the RAID item in BIOS

You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set from SATA

hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by Intel® C242 chipset.

To do this:

1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2. Go to the Chipset Menu > PCH-IO Configuration > SATA And RSTe

Configuratrion, then press <Enter>.

3. Set SATA Mode to [RAID Mode].

4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.

Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.

5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives

The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set conguration. For optimal performance,

install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.

To install the SATA hard disks for RAID conguration:

1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system

user guide.

2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to

the SATA connector on the motherboard.

3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

5-4 Chapter 5: RAID Conguration

The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA/SSATA Option ROM utility allows you

to create RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 (RAID 1+0), and RAID 5 set from Serial ATA hard disk

drives that are connected to the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Southbridge.

The navigation keys at the bottom of the screen allow you to move through the menus

and select the menu options.

The RAID BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not

exactly match the items on your screen.

To launch the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA/SSATA Option ROM utility:

1. Turn on the system.

2. During POST, press <Ctrl>+<I> to display the utility main menu.

Before you proceed, ensure that you have installed the Serial ATA hard disk drives,

and have set the correct SATA mode in the BIOS setup. You can refer to the Installing

hard disk drives, and Setting the RAID item in BIOS sections in this manual for more

information.
