Raid Setup Procedure - Clevo P370SM Guide Utilisateur

Prepare the following before setting up your serial ATA
hard disks in RAID mode:
1. The Microsoft Windows 8 OS disc.
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.
5. A USB flash drive.
6. An operable computer (to copy files from the Device Drivers &
Utilities + User's Manual disc to the USB flash drive).
Note: All hard disks in a RAID should be identical (the
same size and brand) in order to prevent unexpected sys-
tem behavior.
