Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)
Chapter 3 Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)
3-1 Configuring Intel
®
Z97 SATA Controllers
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. If there is more than one SATA controller on your motherboard, refer to "Chapter 1,"
"Hardware Installation," to identify the SATA controller for the SATA port. (For example, on this motherboard,
the SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5 ports are supported by the Intel
®
Z97 Chipset.) Then connect the power connector from
your power supply to the hard drive.
(Note 1) Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID array on the SATA controller.
(Note 2) Required when the SATA controller is set to AHCI or RAID mode.
To configure SATA hard drive(s), follow the steps below:
A.
Install SATA hard drive(s) in your computer.
B.
Configure SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup.
C.
Configure a RAID array in RAID BIOS.
(Note 1)
D. Install the SATA RAID/AHCI driver and operating system.
(Note 2)
Before you begin
Please prepare:
•
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 thumb drive.
