Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)
To configure SATA hard drive(s), follow the steps below:
(1)
Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system.
(2)
Configure SATA controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup.
(3)
Configure RAID set in RAID BIOS.
(Note)
(4)
Make a floppy disk containing the SATA controller driver.
(5)
Install the SATA controller driver during OS installation.
Before you begin
Please prepare:
(a)
Two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard
drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID with the SATA
controller, you may prepare only one hard drive.
(b)
An empty formatted floppy disk.
(c)
Windows XP/2000 setup disk.
(d)
Driver CD for your motherboard.
(1)
Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system
Attach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available
SATA port(s) on the motherboard. (If there are more than one SATA controller on your motherboard, you
may check the name of the SATA connector to identify the SATA controller for the connector. For
example,
SATA0_SB/SATA_SB is controlled by the SATA controller on South-Bridge.) Then connect the
power connector from your power supply to the hard drive.
(Note)
Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID array on the SATA controller.
