NOTE
In order to use supported onboard RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the
BIOS. Also, during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press the F6 key to
install the RAID drivers. Refer to your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more
information about installing drivers during installation. Both Microsoft Windows Vista
and Microsoft Windows 7 include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID
without the need to install separate RAID drivers using the F6 key.
The red eSATA connectors on the back panel can be used to connect an eSATA drive.
They can also be used for port replication, which allows the aggregation of multiple
hard drives on each of the eSATA ports.
The eSATA interface also supports the following RAID levels:
• RAID 0
• RAID 1
NOTE
The Marvell 88SE6145 controller supports single drive non-RAID configurations as well
as RAID configurations. Refer to your operating system installation documentation for
more information about installing drivers during the installation process.
