The requirement to set up a RAID in any system, including third party equipment.
No option in BIOS that allows the system to set up a RAID. Intel®Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) was not able to set up the RAID either.
Requirements:
1. The Chipset SATA Mode in BIOS needs to be in RAID mode instead of AHCI.
2. Install the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
Enabling RAID in BIOS
Note: The instructions to enable RAID in the BIOS are specific to motherboards manufactured by Intel with a
supported Intel chipset. The specific BIOS settings on non-Intel motherboards may differ. Refer to the
motherboard documentation or contact the motherboard manufacturer or your place of purchase for specific
instructions. Always follow the instructions that are provided with your motherboard.
Depending on your Intel motherboard model, enable RAID by following either of the steps below.
1. Press the F2 key after the Power-On-Self-Test(POST) memory test begins.
2. Select the Configuration menu, then the SATA Drives menu.
3. Set the Chipset SATA Mode to RAID.
