SAS RAID Support
The BIOS Setup Utility provides drive configuration options on the Advanced | Mass
Storage Controller Configuration setup page for the Intel
®
SAS Entry RAID Module
AXX4SASMOD, some of which affect the ability to configure RAID.
The Intel
®
SAS Entry RAID Module option is enabled by default once the Intel
®
SAS
Entry RAID Module
AXX4SASMOD is present. When enabled, you can set the Configure Intel
®
SAS Entry
RAID Module to either LSI* Integrated RAID or Intel
®

Supports entry hardware RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID10/10E and native SAS pass

connector on the SAS Module AXX4SASMOD when a cable is attached between this
connector and the backplane or I2C interface.
