5-1-2 Configuring GIGABYTE SATA2 SATA Controller A. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your computer Attach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available SATA port on the motherboard. If there is more than one SA TA controller on your motherboard, refer to "Chapter 1," Hardware Installation," to identify the SA TA controller for the SATA port. (For example, on this motherboard, the GSA TA2_0 and GSATA2_1 ports are supported by GIGABYTE SA TA2.) Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive. B. Configuring SATA controller mode and device boot order in BIOS Setup Make sure to configure the SA TA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup and set the device boot order. Step 1: Turn on your computer and press to enter BIOS Setup during the POST. In BIOS Setup, go to Integrated Peripherals, ensure that Onboard SATA/IDE Device is enabled. Then set Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode to RAID/IDE (Figure 1). If you do not want to create RAID, set this item to IDE or AHCI, depending on your need.
