C. Configuring RAID set in RAID BIOS

Enter the RAID BIOS setup utility to configure a RAID array. For a non-RAID configuration, please skip this 

step and proceed to the installation of Windows operating system.  

Step 1:  
After the POST memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins, look for a message which 
says "Press <F10> to enter RAID setup utility" (Figure 3). Hit the <F10> key to enter the NVIDIA RAID setup 
utility.  

Step 2: 
The 

Define a New Array

 screen is the first option screen when you enter the NVIDIA RAID setup utility (Figure 

4). You can press the <Tab> key to move from field to field until the appropriate field is highlighted. 

Step 3:
In the 

RAID Mode

 field, use the up or down arrow key to select a RAID mode. The supported RAID modes include 

Mirroring, Striping, Stripe Mirroring, RAID 5, and Spanning. The following procedure demonstrates how a RAID 0 
array (Striping) is created. 

Step 4:
If RAID 0 (Striping) is selected, you can manually set the stripe block size. In the 

Striping Block

 field, use the 

up or down arrow key to set the striping block size. Striping block size is given in kilobytes. We recommend 
you leaving it at the default 

Optimal

, which is 64 KB. The striping block size can be set from 4 KB to 128 KB.
