Adjusting your Hard Disk Setting 

Except its original 1 set of parallel IDE, this motherboard supports the latest serial 
ATA hard disk. If you are unable to find your newly installed serial ATA hard disks 
on your operating system after having them installed, the problem may lie in the 
BIOS setting. You can simply adjust BIOS settings to have them work properly.   

After installing your hard disks properly, you can directly go to BIOS setting 
screen for adjustment. Simply pressing “Integrated Peripherals 

Æ

 OnChip 

IDE Device 

Æ

 On-Chip Serial ATA” to choose your preferable mode. If you 

have no intention of changing its original setting, the default would be “Auto”.
