3. Intel Matrix RAID Technology is the advanced ability for two RAID volumes to share the combined space of two hard drives being used in unison Intel Rapid Recover Technology utilizes RAID 1 functionality to copy data from a des ignated Master drive to a designated Recovery drive The size of the Master drive must be less than or equal to the size of the Recovery drive When a Recovery volume is created complete capacity of the Master drive will be used as the Master volume Only one Recovery Volume can exist on a system There are 2 methods of updating the data on the Master to the Recovery drive They are Continuous Update Policy and On Request Update Policy l ssyoXeyrte nt The least number of hard drives for RAID 0 RAID 1 Recovery or Matrix mode is 2 The least number of hard drives for RAID 10 mode is 4 And the least number of hard drives for RAID 5 mode is 3 All the information volumes pictures listed in your system might differ from the illustra tions in this appendix MS 7673 is c Qaentt BIOS Configuration The Intel Matrix Storage Manager Option ROM should be integrated with the system BIOS on all motherboards with a supported Intel chipset The Intel Matrix Storage Man ager Option ROM is the Intel RAID implementation and provides BIOS and DOS disk services Please use Ctrl I keys to enter the Intel RAID for Serial ATA status screen which should appear early in system boot up during the POST Power On
