3.2- Mounting
The ML100G-42 has optional Wall Mount brackets (SKU: MTW101) and DIN Rail mounting brackets (SKU: MTW101-K) available for purchase. An optional VESA mounting bracket (SKU: MTV100-K) is also available.
Wall Mount

For Wall Mounting, follow the steps below:
Align the four screw holes on the bottom of the system with the respective holes on the mounting brackets.
Attach wall mounting brackets (MTW101) to the system using the supplied M3 screws (M3X0.5 Flathead Screw, 4mm Long).
Install the system to the surface using keyhole slots on wall mount brackets and appropriate hardware for the surface (not provided).
DIN Rail Mounting

For DIN Rail Mounting, follow the steps below:
Follow steps 1-2 from the Wall Mounting section.
Align the mounting holes of the DIN clip bracket to the three mounting holes on the wall mount bracket.
Install the DIN clips to the wall mount brackets using supplied screws and a Phillips head screwdriver.
Mount system onto the DIN rail.
Note: The mounting brackets are required to support 3x the hanging weight of the system (14.82lbs / 6.72 kgs). The mating surface and hardware must be capable of supporting the same load.
VESA Mounting
Follow the steps below for VESA mounting:
Align the four screw holes on the bottom of the system with the respective holes on the mounting bracket.
Attach the VESA Mount Plate to the system using the supplied M3 screws (M3X0.5 Flathead Screw, 4mm Long).
Install the system to VESA 75 or VESA 100 mounting pattern using provided VESA Mount screws.
The mounting bracket systems are required to secure 3x the hanging weight of the computer system (14.82lbs / 6.72 kgs). The mating substrate must be capable of maintaining the same rating.

Configure RAID setting on BIOS
Press F2 upon system booting up to go to the BIOS menu.
Go to Advanced > Chipset Configuration > NVMe RAID mode > Enabled
Press F10 to save and exit.
Press F2 again to boot to BIOS.
There will be a new row “RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility” under the Advanced tab.
Go to RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility. You will see the number for Total Physical Device Count and Total Logical Array Count are both listed as 2 (since you have 2 drives with 2 separated arrays).
Now go to Array Management > Manage Array Properties > Select Array. You’ll see 2 Non-RAID arrays.
Go back to previous page and go to Delete Array
Click Check All to select both arrays and set to Enabled, click Delete Array(s).
Now go to Create Array. Select desired RAID level.
Click Select Physical Disks. Click Check ALL to set both disks as Enabled. Click Apply Changes.
Click Create Array.
Go to Manage Array Properties > Select Array. Now you’ll see it appears as a single array under RAID 0.
Press F10 to save and exit, and start the Windows 11 Pro installation.
Windows 11 RAID Installation
For Windows OS, the AMD RAID requires three drivers to be loaded, and the sequence is rcbottom -> rcraid -> rccfg.
Boot to Windows installation (two separated disks here due to inbox driver doesn’t support AMD RAID)
Load the driver “rcbottom”, it will turn all the disks to be empty
Load the driver “rcraid”, you should be able to see the RAID volume here
Load “rccfg” to complete the AMD RAID installation.
The RAID disk is ready for Windows installation now!
