Chapter 4: SATA/RAID Setup (for SATA RAID model)
The motherboard supports RAID 0 or 1 for Serial ATA drives through the Intel
®
6300ESB
chipset. The Serial ATA as RAID option must be enabled in the BIOS before the system can
load the Adaptec
®
RAID option ROM code for Intel
®
RAID. The Adaptec
®
RAID option ROM is
a standard PnP (Plug and Play) option ROM that provides a pre-operating system user
interface for the Intel
®
RAID implementation. It also allows the boot order to be selected from
within the BIOS setup utility.

Before installing the driver into an existing system, backup any important
or useful data. Failure to follow this accepted PC practice could result in
data loss.
The Intel RAID feature is available in Win2000 and WinXP.

4.2 Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks
Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks requires the use of a new SATA data cable (4-
conductor) which supports the Serial ATA protocol and a SATA power cable. Either end of the
SATA data cable can be connected to the SATA hard disk or the SATA connector on the
motherboard.
Note
Both the data and power SATA cables are new cables. You cannot
use older 40-pin 80-conductor IDE or regular IDE power cables with
SATA hard drives.
Carefully follow any technical instructions that come from the hard
disk manufacturer.
Follow the given steps for correct cable installation:
1.
Attach either cable end to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
2.
Attach the other cable end to the SATA hard disk.
