STEP 1: Set Up BIOS. A. Enter BIOS SETUP UTILITY Advanced screen IDE Configuration. B. Set the "Onboard SATA Operation Mode" option from [RAID] to [non-RAID]. STEP 2: Install Windows 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit OS on your system. After setting up BIOS, you can start to install Windows 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit on your system. If you don't want to set up RAID functions, there is no need to make a SATA driver diskette. 2.12 Untied Overclocking Technology This motherboard supports Untied Overclocing Technology, which means during overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI / PCIE buses. Before you enable Untied Overclocking function, please enter "Overclock Mode" option of BIOS setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [CPU, PCIE, Async.]. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied during overclocking, but PCI and PCIE buses are in the fixed mode so that FSB can operate under a more stable overclocking environment. 21
