Load Proiles
If your system becomes unstable and you have loaded the BIOS default settings, you can use this function
to load the BIOS settings from a proile created before, without the hassles of reconiguring the BIOS
settings. First select the proile you wish to load and then press <Enter> to complete. You can select
Select
File in HDD/USB/FDD
to input the proile previously created from your storage device or load the proile

properly (last known good record).
Before you begin, please prepare the following items:
•
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 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.
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.
C-1. UEFI RAID Coniguration
This mode supports Windows 8.1 64-bit installation only.
To conigure UEFI RAID, you need to prepare a USB lash drive using FAT 32 ile format and copy all iles
(including the UEFI RAID utility rcadm.ei) in the \BootDrv\UEFI RAID Utility folder in your motherboard driver
disk to the lash drive. Then follow the steps below.
