Unified Enterprise-class Software RAID stack for Server or Workstation built-in SATA ports
Key Features
· Enterprise class RAID 0, 1, 5, 50, 1n, 10n · Online capacity expansion (OCE) · Online RAID level migration (ORLM) · Comprehensive management application
tested with Dot Hill's RAIDCore software RAID stack and provides some installation guidelines for common motherboards. [. . . ] Any existing RAID BIOS may be an earlier version of RAIDCore, but the system should function fine. If no HT1000 setup area exists, chances are that the motherboard does not support RAIDCore. For AMD SB600/700, under Advanced settings ensure that SATA mode is set to IDE->AHCI. Other methods to determine compatibility for an existing installed operating system is to use the Device Manager under Windows and navigate to the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section to identify the chip set type.

Intel and AMD Motherboard Compatibility
Intel Motherboard Compatibility
Intel compatible motherboards must include AHCI compatible SATA I/O capability to support Dot Hill's RAIDCore software but there are many varieties. The SATA/RAID capability is built into a number of Intel's I/O Controller Hub (ICH) chip sets, specifically ICH7R, ICH8R, or ICH9R for desktop or workstation PCs, or ESB2, ICH9R, ICH10R, or Ibex Peak for server class and finally ICH7M or ICH8M for mobile PCs. non-R variants) will not support RAIDCore (or AHCI modes) including Intel's own RAID drivers as the AHCI functionality is disabled. Intel provides a utility to help detect the specific chip set for some operating systems at http://www. intel. com/support/chip sets/inf/sb/CS-009266. htm and may also identify if the SATA ports are configured in IDE or AHCI mode. The following summarizes the chipsets supported and corresponding Southbridge ICH implementation.
