4.2.5 Silicon Image RAID Drivers

If the Serial ATA drives connected to the RAID SATA 1 and
RAID SATA 2 connectors will be configured as RAID, you must
install the Silicon Image RAID drivers.

1. On the left side of the autorun screen, click the “TOOLS”

icon.

2. Click “Silicon Image RAID Drivers” on the main menu. A

“readme” screen which contains the RAID drivers installation
instructions will appear.

The installation procedure will lead you to install the driver
from a diskette. The diskette is included in the system board
package.

To install the RAID drivers:

1. Insert the “Silicon Image Sil3112A RAID Drivers” diskette.

2. Follow the installation instructions shown on the screen.

3. Reboot the system for the driver to take effect.

Note:

Refer to the Silicon Image RAID User’s Manual for more infor-
mation about the RAID drivers. The manual is included in the
CD.
