Copy the AMD-RAID drivers to a removable storage medium. (Refer to Section 2.1) 2. Power-on the system. 3. Access the platform BIOS window for the system. a. Configure the BIOS settings as outlined in Section 3.1 to enable RAID Mode on the system. b. This enables the loading of the AMD-RAID UEFI driver. 4. Initialize the disks, using the RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility (HII) or UEFI shell. 5. Create arrays, using the HII Configuration Utility or UEFI shell. (Refer to Section 4.1) 6. Load the AMD-RAID drivers during the operating system installation. (Refer to Section 5.1) 7. Complete the rest of the operating system installation. 8. Install the OS RAID Management GUI (AMD RAIDXpert2). (Refer to Section 6.1) IMPORTANT: To protect your data; always perform a backup prior to installing any new, major hardware or software. If you are adding NVMe as RAID to your existing RAID arrays then update all existing RAID controller drivers to the latest version and reboot the system. Later connect NVMe and install RAID driver on the NVMe devices or download driver software
