Prepare the following before setting up your serial ATA
hard disks in RAID mode:

2. A hard disk installed in the Primary HDD bay.
3. A second (identical) hard disk installed in the Secondary HDD
bay.
4. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User's Manual disc.

6. An operable computer (to copy files from the Device Drivers &

same size and brand) in order to prevent unexpected sys-
tem behavior.
