The LSI MegaRAID software RAID configuration utility automatically
configures to RAID 1 when the SATA to RAID Mode is enabled.
The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and
may not exactly match the items on your screen due to the controller
version difference.
When you create RAID sets with the LSI MegaRAID software RAID
configuration utility, the boot priority of the SATA optical drive has to be
manually adjusted. Otherwise, the system will not boot from the connected
SATA ODD.
