Hello, Help me config RAID for HP Proliant ML150 G5 please.

[sang_5]

- I have two blank SATA HARD DRIVE 1TB in size and HOT-PLUG HDD cage in server.

- I read the manual and this is what i understand:

+)Install firmware of server, hard drive, Card Raid.

+)Insert Windows Server 2003 Disk and press F2 to install "Driver of Card Raid" and then install windows....

+)Use ORCA to creat RAID

- Is that right how to creat RAID ? Help me please.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Jawserdi.

My server shipped with "HP E200 Storage Controller". Is it "Onboard Sata Controller RAID " ?

Am I insert two SATA Hard Drive in "HOT-PLUG HDD CAGE" and then do like what you told me, right?
