Configuring RAID
.
At some point a customer may want to configure his or her computer for RAID if a RAID configuration was not selected when purchased. Two hard drives must be installed in the computer to set up a RAID configuration.
Consumer can use two methods to configure RAID hard drive volumes.
- One method: uses the Intel RAID Option ROM utility and is performed before installing the operating system.
- The second method: uses the new Intel Matrix Storage Console which called Intel Rapid Storage Technology, and is performed under operating system.
Both methods require the computer be set to RAID-enabled mode before starting any of the RAID configuration procedures.
Setting the Computer to RAID-Enabled Mode
- Enter System Setup by F2 when you see DELL logo after starting the computer.
- Use the up and down-arrow keys or the mouse select System Configuration, and press <Enter>.
- Use the up and down-arrow keys or the mouse select SATA Operation
- Press <Tab> key and then move up and down-arrow keys, or use the mouse to select the RAID Onbutton. Click Apply.
- If the setting was changed from RAID AHCI / RAID On, a pop-up window displays. If the pop-up window displays, use the mouse to select 'Yes'. If the setting didn't change, the pop-up window will not display. Go to step 6.
- Press <Esc> or select Exit. If prompted 'Are you sure you want to exit?' Select 'Yes'.
