The new ASUS UEFI BIOS is a Unied Extensible Interface that complies with UEFI

architecture, offering a user-friendly interface that goes beyond the traditional keyboard-

only BIOS controls to enable a more exible and convenient mouse input. You can easily

navigate the new UEFI BIOS with the same smoothness as your operating system. The

term “BIOS” in this user manual refers to “UEFI BIOS” unless otherwise specied.

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system hardware settings such as storage

device conguration, overclocking settings, advanced power management, and boot

device conguration that are needed for system startup in the motherboard CMOS. In

normal circumstances, the default BIOS settings apply to most conditions to ensure

optimal performance. DO NOT change the default BIOS settings except in the following

circumstances:

• An error message appears on the screen during the system bootup and requests you

to run the BIOS Setup.

• You have installed a new system component that requires further BIOS settings or

update.

Inappropriate BIOS settings may result to instability or boot failure. We strongly

recommend that you change the BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service

personnel.

• When downloading or updating the BIOS le, rename it as R6E.CAP for this

motherboard.

• BIOS settings and options may vary due to different BIOS release versions. Please

refer to the latest BIOS version for settings and options.

3.11.3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3

The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility is an auto recovery tool that allows you to restore the

BIOS le when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. You can restore a

corrupted BIOS le using the motherboard support USB drive that contains the BIOS le.

The BIOS le in the motherboard support USB drive may be older than the BIOS le

published on the ASUS ofcial website. If you want to use the newer BIOS le, download

the le at https://www.asus.com/support/ and save it to a USB ash drive.

Recovering the BIOS

To recover the BIOS:

1. Turn on the system.

2. Insert the motherboard support USB drive, or the USB ash drive containing the BIOS

le to the USB port.

3. The utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS le. When found, the utility

reads the BIOS le and enters ASUS EZ Flash 3 automatically.

4. The system requires you to enter BIOS Setup to recover the BIOS setting. To ensure

system compatibility and stability, we recommend that you press <F5> to load default

BIOS values.

DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can cause

system boot failure!

RAID Support

Chapter 4: RAID Support

4.1 RAID configurations

The motherboard supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5,

and RAID 10 solution.

If you want to install a Windows® operating system to a hard disk drive included in a RAID

set, you have to create a RAID driver disk and load the RAID driver during OS installation.

Refer to section 4.2 Creating a RAID driver disk for details.

4.1.1 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 5 strips 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.

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.

4-2 Chapter 4: RAID Support

Chapter 4

4.1.2 Installing storage devices

The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives and PCIE SSD storage devices. For

optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a

disk array.

Refer to Chapter 2 for details on installing storage devices to your motherboard.

4.1.3 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology in UEFI BIOS

To enter the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology in UEFI BIOS:

1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2. Go to the Advanced menu > PCH Storage Configuration, then press <Enter>.

3. Set the SATA Mode Selection item to [Intel RST Premium(RAID)].

If you are using PCIE storage devices, ensure to enable all the PCIE Storage RAID

Support items.

4. Go to the Boot menu > CSM (Compatibility Support Module) > Launch CSM, then

set the item to [Disabled].

5. Save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup, then enter the BIOS Setup again.

6. Go to the Advanced menu > Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology, then press <Enter>

to display the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology menu.
