5-1-3 Configuring Marvell 9128 SATA Controller
A. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your computer
Attach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available
SATA port on the motherboard. The Marvell 9128 SATA controller controls the GSATA3_6/7 ports on the
motherboard. Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive.
B. Configuring SATA controller and RAID mode in BIOS Setup
Make sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup.
Step 1:
Turn on your computer and press <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup during the POST (Power-On Self-Test).
Make sure
Onboard SATA3 controller
under the
Integrated Peripherals
menu is enabled. Then set
On-
board SATA3 Mode
to
IDE
or
AHCI
, depending on your requirements (Figure 1). (In AHCI mode, installation
of the SATA AHCI driver is required during Windows XP installation. Refer to section, "5-1-4" for more infor-
mation.)
Step 2:
To create a RAID array, press <Enter> on the
GSATA RAID Configuration
item (Figure 1) to enter the RAID
configuration menu. Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID.
Figure 1
The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may differ from the exact settings for your moth-
erboard. The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard you
have and the BIOS version.
