Preparing your computer for RAID
Setting up RAID on your computer can involve two major
steps, depending on how your computer has been configured.
To prepare your computer for RAID:
1 Configure the RAID arrays. See the Array Manager User
Guide, or “Configuring RAID” on page 33.
2 Install the operating system.
Configuring RAID
Enabling RAID
If your computer had RAID enabled at the factory, you do not
need to enable it. If you are setting up RAID yourself, and RAID
was not enabled at the factory, you must enable it.
To enable RAID on your computer:
1 Start (or restart) your computer.
2 As soon as your computer turns on and the Gateway
logo appears on the screen, press F2. The BIOS Setup
utility opens.
3 Select the Advanced menu, then select Drive
Configuration.
4 Change the ATA/IDE Mode to Enhanced.
5 Change the SATA mode to RAID.
6 Press F10, then type Y to exit BIOS saving changes.
Now that RAID is enabled, you can access the RAID
setup.
