Introduction

This document details the steps needed to setup RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and JBOD disk

configurations on an HP xw9300 Workstation. Additional information on these RAID modes can be

found in the Workstation RAID Primer mini-white paper which can be found by visiting

www.hp.com/support/xw9300_manuals and selecting the White papers quick jump link.

Steps

The steps are common to all RAID configurations. RAID-configuration-specific values are given as

needed.

Install Drives

1. With the power off, physically install the correct number of SATA drives using any

combination of the four available SATA ports. Table 1 below indicates the number of drives

28. When the recovery CD boots, follow the instructions to install the OS (Windows XP SP2) onto

the newly-created RAID Volume.

installed. When the system starts the install, a task/info bar at the bottom of the screen will

display “Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver.” Press F6.

30. The system will then prompt you to specify a driver from the floppy. Be sure to have the

nVidia 64bit RAID and SATA drivers on a floppy. These drivers can be downloaded from

www.hp.com. Be sure to select both drivers, since they are both required.
