8-Port SATA II PCI-Express Controller
5. Fresh Win2000/XP/2003/Vista/Win7 Installation
Note:
Since all the SATA drives are connected via Port Multipli-
ers, only the first (Port 1) and the fourth (Port 4) drives are
shown by the BIOS, however, after installing the Windows drivers, all
drives will be detected by Windows and works properly. If you leave the
Port 1 and Port 4 unconnected, the BIOS may take longer time to wait
them until timeout. It is strongly recommended to connect the drive from
Port 1 sequentially.
If you are performing a new installation of Windows 2000 (or XP, 2003, Vista, Win 7),
and you wish to boot from a device attached to this SATA2 PCIe card. If your drivers
are on a CD (in the drive D: for example) instead of diskette, please prepare the “Driver
Installation Disk” as follows:
COPY D:\SATA\nonRAID\SiI3132 A:\
1.
Put your Windows CD into the CD-ROM/DVD drive.
2.
Power up the system.

Press F6 for third party SCSI or driver installation at the beginning of text mode
installation. Press 's' when setup asks if you want to specify an additional de-
vice, and insert the "Driver Installation Disk" prepared as mentioned above.
4.
Press 'Enter' to continue on with text mode setup.
5.
Follow the setup instructions to select your choice for partition and file system.

6. Existing Win2000/XP/2003/Vista/Win7 Installation
1.
Boot Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Win7 and logon as a user that has Adminis-
trator privileges. The Windows Installation Wizard will ask you to install the driv-
er, please follow its instruction, browse to the following folder (Windows 32-bit,
for example) and complete the installation:
D:\SATA\nonRAID\SiI3132\32-bit
2.
If your hard drive is blank, you may need to go to the Windows Device Manager
to create partitions and format the drive. If your drive’s capacity is bigger than
2TB, since the Windows’ traditional MBR partition only supports up to 2TB, you
may need to create a GPT partition instead of MBR, please check Windows’
document for more detail information.
