STEP 3: Use “RAID Installation Guide” to set RAID configuration.
Before you start to configure the RAID function, you need to check the installation guide
in the Support CD for proper configuration. Please refer to the document in the Support
CD, “Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installation and RAID Configuration”, which is located in
the folder at the following path: .. \ RAID Installation Guide
STEP 4: Install Windows
®
XP / XP 64-bit OS on your system. (Windows
®
2000 is
not supported.)
After making a SATA / SATAII driver diskette and using “RAID Installation Guide” to set
RAID configuration, you can start to install Windows
®
XP / XP 64-bit on your system. At
the beginning of Windows setup, press F6 to install a third-party RAID driver. When
prompted, insert the SATA / SATAII driver diskette containing the Intel
®
RAID driver. After
reading the floppy disk, the driver will be presented. Select the driver to install according
to the mode you choose and the OS you install. You may select: "Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R
SATA RAID Controller (Desktop - Windows XP)" for Windows ® XP or "Intel(R) ICH8R/
ICH9R SATA RAID Controller (Desktop - Windows XP64)" for Windows ® XP 64-bit.
If you want to use “Intel Matrix Storage Manager” in Windows
®
environment,
please install SATA / SATAII drivers from the Support CD again so that “Intel
Matrix Storage Manager” will be installed to your system as well.
After the installation of Windows ® XP / Windows ® XP-64bit OS, if you want to manage
RAID functions, you are allowed to use both “RAID Installation Guide” and “Intel Matrix
Storage Manager Information” for RAID configuration. Please refer to the document in the
Support CD, “Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installation and RAID Configuration”, which is
located in the folder at the following path: .. \ RAID Installation Guide and the document
in the support CD, “Guide to Intel Matrix Storage Manager”, which is located in the folder
at the following path: .. \ Intel Matrix Storage Manager Information
