MSI BigBang XPower Raid 5 Setup Intel Matrix Storage

So you want to setup RAID 5 on your new BigBang XPower board? Pretty hard to find the documentation to do this. After a couple of hours, this is what I found to make it work.

1. Download new Intel drivers via the Control Center
2. I also found the live update for MSI drivers on the MSI website here: http://us.msi.com/service/download/
3. Boot into the Bios and select
4. Change the default setting of IDE to RAID
5. F10 save and exit
6. Hit Ctrl+I during boot to get into the Intel Matrix Storage RAID utility
7. Enter the volume name, select the RAID Type, Select the Disks, and stripe size (See hints at the bottom of the screen.), then build the RAID volume.
