Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 Quick Start Manual

With GIGABYTE eXtreme Hard Drive (X.H.D)
(Note 1)
, users can quickly congure a RAID-
ready system for RAID 0 when a new SATA drive is added. For a RAID 0 array that al-
ready exists, users also can use X.H.D to easily add a hard drive into the array to expand 
its capacity. All with a simple click of a button, X.H.D helps to enhance your hard drive 
read/write performance without the need for complex and time-consuming congurations. The following procedure 
details the steps to set up a RAID-ready system and congure it for RAID 0. 
B. Using GIGABYTE eXtreme Hard Drive (X.H.D)
(Note 1)  The X.H.D utility only supports the SATA controllers integrated in the Intel Chipset. 
(Note 2)  It is  recommended that before  you  run the X.H.D  utility,  back up all  of  your data to  avoid risk of 
hardware damage or lost of data. 
(Note 3)  If you manually build a non-RAID 0 array, you'll not be able to automatically set up a RAID 0 array 
later using the Auto function. 
1.   To automatically set up a RAID 0 array:
   Click Auto to automatically and quickly set up a RAID 0 array. 
2.   To manually set up a RAID array: 
(Note 3)
:
  Click Manual to access the Intel Matrix Storage Console, with which you can build a RAID 0, RAID 1, or 
other supported RAID array depending on your needs and hardware components. 
3.   Exits the X.H.D utility: 
  Click Cancel to exit the X.H.D utility.
Instructions:
(Note 2)
Before launching X.H.D, make sure the newly added hard-
drive has equal or greater capacity than the RAID-ready 
system drive. (To add  a  new hard drive  into  a  RAID 0 ar-
ray that's been created earlier,  make sure the  new drive is 
greater than or equal to the biggest drive in the array. )

eXtreme Hard Drive (X.H.D)

A. Setting Up a RAID-Ready System
Step 1: Congure the system BIOS
Enter the system BIOS Setup program, set eXtreme Hard Drive (X.H.D) under the Integrated Peripherals 
menu to Enabled to enable RAID for the Intel SATA controllers.   
Step 2: Install the RAID driver and operating system
The X.H.D utility  supports  Windows  7/Vista/XP. Before installing  the  operating  system,  you  have  to  load  the 
SATA controller driver rst. Without the driver, the hard drive may not be recognized during the Windows setup 
process. (For more details, refer to Chapter 5, "Installing the SATA RAID/AHCI Driver and Operating System." )
Step 3: Install the motherboard drivers and the X.H.D utiltiy
After installing the operating system, insert the motherboard driver disk. You can click the Xpress Install All 
button to automatically install all motherboard drivers, including the X.H.D utility. Or you can go to the Applica-
tion Software screen to individually install the X.H.D utility later.
