To switch between RAID and non-RAID mode
The controller card comes with jumper pins that would allow you to switch
between RAID and non-RAID mode. The RAID mode means you can create
RAID volumes using the SATARAID5 array manager. The non-RAID mode
means you can only configure individual drives.
The RAID mode uses the SATARAID5 array manager and the raid driver version.
The non-RAID mode uses the base driver.
