Getting Help

If you have any problems installing or using your ASH-1205SA, check 
these items first:

Did the ASH-1205SA drivers install correctly? Refer to the 

User’s 

Guide

 on the CD to learn how to verify driver installation. 

Try disconnecting your SATA devices from your ASH-1205SA card 
before checking that the card and its drivers are working properly.

Is the ASH-1205SA card firmly seated and secured in the PCI 
expansion slot? Turn off the power to your computer before checking 
the card.

Are the SATA cables connecting your SATA devices to the 
ASH-1205SA plugged in completely and securely?

Are your SATA devices properly connected to power cables?

Is the ASH-1205SA detected during boot? If not, try moving the card 
to another free PCI slot. Follow the instructions in 

Installing the 

ASH-1205SA Card
