Configuring IDE RAID Hard Drive(s) (Controller: VIA VT6410)

To set up IDE RAID hard drive(s), you have to follow the steps below:

(1) Install IDE hard drive(s) in your computer.

(2) Configure VT6410 IDE controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup.

(3)* Configure RAID set in RAID BIOS.

(4) Make a floppy disk containing the IDE RAID controller driver

(5) Install the IDE RAID controller driver during OS installation.

Before you begin

Please prepare:

(a) Two IDE hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard

drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not plan to create RAID with the VT6410

controller, you may prepare only one hard drive.

(b) An empty formatted floppy disk.

(d) Driver CD for your motherboard.

(1) Installing IDE hard drive(s) in your system

Attach one end of the IDE cable to the rear of the IDE hard drive and the other end to IDE port(s) controlled

by the VT6410 RAID controller on the motherboard. (To ensure that your IDE CD-ROM can work

properly, please connect it to the IDE1 port (controlled by the Southbridge) and connect your hard drives

to IDE2/IDE3 ports ). Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive(s).

"*" Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID.array on the IDE controller

(2) Configuring VT6410 IDE controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup

You have to make sure whether the VT6410 IDE controller are configured correctly in system BIOS

Setup and set BIOS boot sequence for the IDE RAID hard drive(s).

Step 1:

Turn on your computer and press the Del key to enter BIOS Setup during POST (Power-On Self Test).

To enable the VT6410 IDE controller, please select Onboard H/W RAID under the Integrated

Peripherals menu and then press ENTER. Make sure the Onboard H/W RAID item is set to

Enabled (Enabled by default) (Figure 1). If you set this option to Disabled, the VT6410 IDE controller

will be disabled and will not support any devices.

(3) Configuring RAID set in RAID BIOS

To create RAID on the VT6410 controller, you have to enter the RAID setup utility. Skip this step and

proceed with Section 4 on page 10 if you do not want to create RAID.

Step 1:

After the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins,

look for a message which says "Press <Tab> key into User Window"(Figure 4). Hit the TAB key to enter

the RAID setup utility.

Figure 4

Step 2:

After you press the TAB key, a screen similar to that below will appear (Figure 5).

You can press the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to highlight the option you need.

After selecting an array mode, you have to decide the way to create the array. There are two methods

to create a disk array. One method is Auto Setup and the other is Select Disk Drives. Auto Setup

lets BIOS select the disk drives and create array automatically but it does not duplicate the mirroring

drives even user selects Create and duplicate for RAID 1 and 0+1. It is suitable when the disk drives

with which you want to create an array are new ones. Select Disk Drives lets user select the array

drives as required. When using the Select Disk Drives method, the channel column will be activated.

Just highlight the target drives that you want to use and press ENTER to select them respectively. The

selected hard drives will be marked with an asterisk (see Figure 8).

Next, use the arrow keys to highlight Start Create Process and press ENTER to begin the creation of

RAID array, then you should see a warning message which says "The data on the selected disks will

be destroied. Continue? (Y/N) ]." Press Y to finish the creation, or press N to cancel the creation. The

content of hard drive will be destroyed after array creation.

Figure 8

Use the arrow keys to highlight the Block Size item and press ENTER , then a list of block size options

will appear. The block size can be selected from 4K to 64K Bytes (Figure 9). Use the arrow keys to

highlight the block size you need and press ENTER.

Delete Array:

If you want to delete an existing RAID array, use the arrow keys to highlight the Delete Array item in

main menu interface, and press ENTER. Use the arrow keys to highlight a member of an array that you

want to delete and press ENTER. A warning message will display (Figure 10). Press Y to delete a

specific array or press N to cancel.

Figure 10

Deletion of a disk array will destroy all the data on the disk array except for RAID 1. When a RAID 1

array is deleted, the data on the two hard drives will be reserved and will become two normal drives.

C. Select Boot Array:

User can select a disk array as boot device if user wants to boot operating system from an

array. Boot disk array can be not selected if user does not boot operating system from disk array.

Use the arrow keys to highlight the Select Boot Disk item then press ENTER. The channel column

will be activated. Just use the arrow keys to highlight the target disk array then press ENTER. If user

select a disk array that has a boot mark (an asterisk) and press ENTER, then its boot setting will be

cancelled (see Figure 11).

(4) Making a IDE RAID controller driver disk

To install Windows 2000/XP onto a IDE hard disk on the VT6410 controller successfully, you need to

install required driver for the IDE RAID controller on your motherboard during OS installation. Without the

driver, the hard disk may not be recognized during the Windows setup process.

First of all, you have to copy the driver for the IDE RAID controller from the motherboard driver CD to

a floppy disk. The instructions below explain how to copy the driver.

Step 1: Find an available system and insert the motherboard driver CD into the CD-ROM drive. The

installation utility will appear automatically. Quit the installation utility first.

Step 2: Go to My Computer and right-click the CD-ROM icon (this procedure assumes Drive D) and

select Open (Figure 14).

Figure 15

Then you should see folders and files contained in the driver CD. Go to the BootDrv folder and look for

a file named MENU.exe.
