4.4.5 Marvell RAID utility

The onboard Marvell SATA 6.0 Gb/s controller allows you to create a RAID 0 or

RAID 1 array using two SATA hard disk drives. Refer to Chapter 2 of your motherboard user

manual for the exact location of the Marvell SATA 6.0 Gb/s connector.

To enter the Marvell utility, press <Ctrl> + <M> during POST.

All exisiting data on the hard disk drives will be erased when creating or deleting a RAID

array. Ensure that you have back up all your data in your hard disk drives before making

any change to the drive status.
