CentOS - May 2013 - Newby using IntelR1304BB Need help with installing 6.4

Seems I need to disable RAID, but don't find the option in the bios.
4ea 1  terabyte drives in raid 10 is the current setup.
>From what I read, I need to disable the onboard raid and let Centos do the
work.

But I don't find any method to stop the raid.

Ok, I missed the beginning of this thread. Is it currently using Intel
(aka fakeRAID)? If so, it's *not* in the BIOS, but rather you have to
watch as it comes up, before it gets to the CentOS boot. You'll see
something that tells you to hit <ctrl-something>, and in there, in the
firmware, you'll disable it.

Note that if you do, I believe that everything will be gone, and you'll
have to rebuild or restore. I don't *think* software RAID will recognize
what the fakeRAID left, though I could be wrong.
