RAID Support
The Intel
®
Server Board provides six SATA ports (3 Gbps) via ICH10R with Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology, with SW RAID levels 0/1/10. Optional support for
SW RAID 5 with activation key.
The BIOS Setup utility provides multiple drive configuration options on the Advanced |
Mass Storage Controller Configuration setup page, some of which affect the ability to
configure RAID. By default, the “Onboard SATA Controller” option is enabled. When
this option is enabled, you can set the “SATA Mode” option to the following modes,
which also lists how the mode affects configuration:
ENHANCED Mode: Supports up to six SATA ports with IDE Native Mode.
COMPATIBILITY Mode: Supports up to four SATA ports[0/1/2/3] with IDE Legacy
mode and two SATA ports[4/5] with IDE Native Mode.
AHCI Mode: Supports all SATA ports using the Advanced Host Controller Interface
(AHCI) when the option is enabled.
Note: For AHCI capability in EFI, you must set the AHCI legacy Option ROM to “disabled”.
SW RAID Mode: Supports configuration of SATA ports for RAID using RAID
configuration software.
For RAID 0, 1, and 10, enclosure management is provided through the SATA_SGPIO
connector on the server board when a cable is attached between this connector on the
server board and to the backplane or I

C interface.
