Q170)
Before you begin the SATA configuration, please prepare four SATA hard drives (to
ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard drives with the
identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID with the SATA controller,
you may prepare only one hard drive.
Please follow the steps below to configure SATA hard drive(s):
1.
Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system.
2.
Enter the BIOS Setup to configure SATA controller mode and boot sequence.
3.
Configure RAID using the RAID BIOS.
1. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your system.
Connect one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive, and the
other end to an available SATA port on the board. Then, connect the power connector of
power supply to the hard drive.
2. Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence by the BIOS Setup.
You have to make sure whether the SATA controller is configured correctly by system
BIOS Setup and set up BIOS boot sequence for the SATA hard drive(s).
