Please visit GIGABYTE's website for details on configuring a RAID array.
Install the SATA RAID/AHCI driver and operating system
With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system.
Installing the Operating System
As some operating systems already include RAID/AHCI driver, you do not need to install separate RAID/AHCI
driver during the Windows installation process. After the operating system is installed, we recommend that you
install all required drivers from the motherboard driver disk using "Xpress Install" to ensure system performance
and compatibility. If the operating system to be installed requires that you provide additional SATA RAID/AHCI
driver during the OS installation process, please refer to the steps below:
1. Copy the
Hw10
folder under the
\Boot
folder in the driver disk to your USB thumb drive.
2. Boot from the Windows setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting
you to load the driver appears, select
Browse
.
3. Insert the USB thumb drive and then browse to the location of the driver. The location of the drivers is as
follows:
\Hw10\RAID\x64
4. Select
AMD-RAID Bottom Device
first and click
Next
to load the driver. Then select
AMD-RAID Controller
and click
Next
to load the driver. Finally, continue the OS installation.
