| 4 | # Scenario |
| 5 | I am running 2.11-DEVELOPMENT DragonFly 64Bit with i5 Core on an IntelĀ® Server-Mainboard S1200BT with 8GB RAM. |
| 6 | The Main System is on two Disks mirrored RAID1 with 500GB. |
| 7 | I want to use dfBSD as our company Fileserver for important Backups. Also I found an old (not much used) Dawi controler (with Sillicon's SiL Chip) with 4 SATA Ports which I want to use for our Backup Fileserver. |

| 9 | # Pre-steps |
| 10 | ## Configuring the SATA Adapter |
| 11 | Please make sure that the adapter is not configured (After the BIOS just before dfBSD starts) as RAID - just expose the disks individually to Dragonfly. We are going to setup a Software RAID. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ## Identifying the disks |
| 14 | After booting up the system please check that the Adapter you are going to use is correctly found: |
