RAID Issues

Windows do not detect the on-board RAID.

Enable the on-board RAID function in the BIOS-Under SOYO COMBO
features setup.

Can I use my CD-ROM or other IDE device (except HDD) on IDE 3 &
4?

No, HPT 372 only support Hard disk.

Can I use IDE 3 & 4 as a normal IDE channel?

Yes, no need to change any settings in the BIOS. Just make sure to install
the driver, check Chapter 7 for more info.

I cannot get the HDD to boot from IDE 3 or IDE 4, why?

Make sure that the 1

boot device in the BIOS is set to SCSI.

USB Issues

Can I use USB port 3_4 for keyboard resume function?

This M/B has 4 USB ports, but only the 2 at the back panel can be used for
USB keyboard resume function.

My USB device sometimes doesn’t work.

This is sometimes caused by static, a workaround is to unplug/plug the USB
device.

LAN Issues

During LAN driver installation, the system hangs on 75%, why?

Enable the onboard LAN in the BIOS setup
