The motherboard supports Ultra DMA 133/100/66 and Serial ATA hard
disk drives. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same
model and capacity when creating a disk array.

Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks

To install the SATA hard disks for a RAID configuration:

1.

Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.

2.

Connect the SATA signal cables.

3.

Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a RAID
set, copy first the RAID driver from the support CD to a floppy disk
before you install an operating system to a selected hard disk drive.
Refer to section “5.6 Creating a RAID driver disk” for details.

Refer to the RAID controllers user manual in the motherboard support
CD for detailed information on RAID configurations. See section “5.2.4
Manuals menu.”
