English (2) Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup You have to make sure whether the SATA controller is configured correctly in system BIOS Setup and set BIOS boot sequence for the SATA hard drive(s)/RAID array. Step 1: Turn on your computer and press Del to enter BIOS Setup during POST (Power-On Self Test). If you want to create RAID, make sure that NV SATA RAID function under the Integrated Peripherals menu is enabled (Figure 1). Also make sure that the NV Serial-ATA 1/Serial-ATA 2 are enabled (including NV SATA 1 Primary/Secondary RAID/SATA 2 Primary/Secondary RAID), depending on which SATA ports you connect. For example, if you wish to create RAID with the hard disks on connectors SATAII0 and SATAII1, assure that the NV Serial-ATA 1 is enabled and SATA 1 Primary/ Secondary RAID are enabled. NV Serial-ATA 2 is for SATAII2 and SATAII3 connectors.
