Chapter 3  Appendix

Before you begin

 

At least two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard drives 

with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID, you may prepare only one hard drive.

 

Windows 8/7/Vista/XP setup disk.

 

Motherboard driver disk.

 

A USB lash drive.

 

A USB loppy disk drive (needed during Windows XP installation).

 

An empty formatted loppy disk (needed during Windows XP installation).

Coniguring the Onboard 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. Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive.

B. Coniguring SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup

Make sure to conigure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup. For the BIOS Setup menus, 

refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Integrated Peripherals."

Steps:
1. 

Turn on your computer and press <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup during the POST (Power-On Self-Test). 

Ensure 

OnChip SATA Channel

 is enabled under 

Peripherals

. Set 

OnChip SATA Type

 to 

RAID

.

2. 

If you want to conigure UEFI RAID, follow the steps in "C-1." To enter the legacy RAID ROM, save the 

settings and exit BIOS Setup. Refer to "C-2" for more information.

3-1  Coniguring SATA Hard Drive(s)

The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may differ from the exact settings for your motherboard. 
The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard you have and 
the BIOS version.
