| - | ==== How to set up a RAID configuration on XH270? ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | __The following requirements must be met before setup.__ \\ | ||
| - | The XH270 must be ready for operation with at least two hard disks installed and connected to the SATA ports.\\ | ||
| - | Boot Mode in BIOS must be set to UEFI. | ||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | 1.) \\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | Power on the XH270 and while booting please press the “Del” key to enter BIOS. | ||
| - | Navigate to the “Advanced” tab, and enter "SATA Configuration" | ||
