BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using the
provided utility described in section 4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS.
Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your
system, or prompted to “Run Setup.” This section explains how to configure your system
using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the configuration of
your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or
change the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using
the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them
in the CMOS RAM of the firmware chip.
The firmware chip on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the
computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press 
during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues
with its test routines.
If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing ++,
or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the
system off then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven
program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from the
available options using the navigation keys.
•	

The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions to ensure
optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS
settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Press
 and select Yes to load the BIOS default settings.

•	

The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and
may not exactly match what you see on your screen.

Setting up RAID

5.1.1	

RAID definitions

The motherboards come with either an Intel® C224 controller (P9D-M) or Intel® C222 controller
(P9D-MV and P9D-MX) that supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option
ROM Utility with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 support (for Windows® OS only).

RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in
parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a
sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access
and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is required for this setup.

RAID 1 (Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a
second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all applications
to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID
configuration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use
two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be
of the same size or larger than the existing drive.

RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data) having
to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 configuration you get all the benefits of both
RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive and
three new drives for this setup.
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. Among
the advantages of RAID 5 configuration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and
higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 configuration is best suited for transaction processing,
relational database applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems.
Use a minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup.
If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID set, copy
the RAID driver first from the support DVD to a floppy disk before you install an operating
system to the selected hard disk drive.

ASUS P9D-M Series

5.1.2	

Installing hard disk drives

The motherboards support Serial ATA for RAID set configuration. For optimal performance,
install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration:
1.	

Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system
user guide.

2.	

Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to
the SATA connector on the motherboard.

3.	

Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

5.1.3	

Setting Jumpers
Ensure to turn off power before setting the jumpers on the motherboard.

You must set the jumper settings of your motherboard to activate the embedded RAID
utilities. To set the jumper settings for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option
ROM Utility, set the 3-pin RAID_SEL1 jumper to pins 2-3.
For more information about the jumper settings of 3-pin RAID_SEL1, you may refer to the
RAID configuration utility section on page 2-28 of this user manual.

5.1.4	

Setting the RAID mode in BIOS

You must set the RAID mode in the BIOS Setup to be able to launch the RAID utilities before
you can create a RAID set from the SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors.
To do this:
1.	

Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2.	

Go to the Advanced Menu > SATA Configuration, then press .

3.	

Set SATA Mode to [RAID].

4.	

Press  to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.
Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.

5.1.5	

RAID configuration utilities

Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using the utilities
embedded on each RAID controller. The P9D-M Series motherboards support Intel® Rapid
Storage Technology for setting up RAID.

Chapter 5: RAID configuration

5.2	Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise
Option ROM Utility

The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option ROM utility allows you to create RAID
0, RAID 1, RAID 10 (RAID 1+0), and RAID 5 set(s) from Serial ATA hard disk drives that are
connected to the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Southbridge.
Before you proceed, ensure that you have installed the Serial ATA hard disk drives, have
set the correct jumper settings of the motherboard, and have set the correct SATA mode in
the BIOS setup. You can refer to sections 5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives, 5.1.3 Setting
Jumpers, and 5.1.4 Setting the RAID mode in BIOS for more information.

To launch the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option ROM utility:
1.	

Turn on the system.
