2 1. NVIDIA BIOS RAID Installation Guide NVIDIA BIOS RAID Installation Guide is an instruction for you to con figure RAID functions by using NVIDIA RAID Utility under BIOS environment.
3 RAID 0+1 (Stripe Mirroring) RAID 0 drives can be mirror ed using RAID 1 techniques, resulting in a RAID 0+1 solution for improved performance plus re siliency. The controller combines the performance of data striping (RAID 0) and the fault tolerance of disk mirroring (RAID 1).
4 3. Please verify the status of your ha rd disks before you set up your new RAID array. WARN ING!! Please backup y our data first before y ou create RAID functions. In the process you create RAID, the sy stem will ask if y ou w ant to “Clear Disk Data” or not.

17 D. Deleting a RAID Array NVRAIDMAN can be used to delete an Array. To d elete an Array, please do the following. A. Launch the NVRAIDMAN application and right click on the RAID array that you want to delete (assuming that you have a RAID arra y already created) as sho wn in the following screen shot.
18 B. Click Next and the following screen shot will appear. C. Click Finish and the array will be deleted and the following screen shot will appear showing all the free disks. A similar process can be applied to delet e any array created by NVIDIA RAID.
19 D. C lick Next. The Disk Selection page appears. E. Select the drive that you want to rebuild by clicking it from the list, then click Next. The Completing the NVIDIA Rebuild Array page appears.
20 F. Click Finish. F. More About Rebuilding Array s Rebuilding Occurs in the Background The rebuilding process takes some time to complete, and occurs in the background so as not to affect the performance of the s ystem.
21 NVRAIDMAN window indicates that the array is synchronizing. C. The synchronization process will start and it will be completed in a short period of time. 2.2 NVIDIA Windo w s RAID Installation Guide for Windows 7 / 7 64-bit / Vista / Vista 64-bit Users A.
