RAID Support
4
4.1 RAID configurations
The motherboard supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option ROM Utility
with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 support.
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
conguration 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 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. Among
the advantages of RAID 5 conguration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and
higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 conguration 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 conguration you get all the benets of both
RAID 0 and RAID 1 congurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive
and three new drives for this setup.
Chapter 4: RAID Support
4-2 Chapter 4: RAID Congurations
Chapter 4
4.1.2 Installing Serial ATA hard disks
The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal performance, install
identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for a RAID conguration:
1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.
2. Connect the SATA signal cables.
3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.
4.1.3 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® C621 chipset.
To do this:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Go to the Platform Configuration menu > PCH Configuration menu > PCH SATA
Configuration, then press <Enter>.
3. Set Configure SATA as to [RAID Mode].
4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.
Refer to Chapter 3 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.
4.1.4 RAID configuration utilities
Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using the utilities
embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
if you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by the
Intel® C621 chipset.
Refer to the succeeding section for details on how to use the RAID conguration utility.
ASUS WS C621E SAGE 4-3
Chapter 4
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 mode sections in this manual for more information.

4.4 Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU in BIOS
This feature requires a KEY module to enable CPU RAID functions with Intel® CPU RSTe.
• The KEY module is purchased separately.
• Due to chipset behavior, CPU RAID functions with Intel® CPU RSTe only supports
Intel® Core™ X-series Processors (6-core or above) and Intel® SSD modules.
• Refer to section 1.1.9 Internal connectors for the location of the VROC_HW_KEY
connector.
Due to hardware design, your motherboard does not support CPU RAID congurations as
OS drives.
To enter the Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU in BIOS:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Go to the Advanced menu > Intel(R) Virtual Raid on CPU > All Intel VMD
Controllers then press <Enter> to display the Intel® Virtual Raid on CPU menu.
Refer to Chapter 3 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.
Due to chipset limitation, when SATA ports are set to RAID mode, all SATA ports run at
