3.6
Software Installation
The installation of all onboard peripheral drivers is described in detail in the relevant Driver Kit
files or Board Support Packages (BSP).
Installation of an operating system is a function of the OS software and is not addressed in this
manual. Refer to the appropriate OS software documentation for installation.
Warning!
The incorrect connection of power or data cables may damage your hard disk
unit and/or the CP307 board.
Note ...
Some symptoms of incorrectly installed HDDs are:
• Hard disk drives are not auto-detected: may be a master/slave problem (only
for IDE HDD) or a bad SATA or IDE cable. Should this occur, contact your
vendor.
• Hard Disk Drive fail message at boot-up: may be a bad cable or lack of power
going to the drive.
• No video on boot-up: usually means the cable is installed backwards (can
only occur if not-coded cables are used).
• Hard drive light is constantly on: usually means bad cable or defective drives/
motherboard. Should this occur, try another HDD.
• Hard drives do not power up: check power cables and cabling. This may also
result from a bad power supply or HDD drive.
Note ...
Users working with pre-configured operating system installation images for
Plug and Play compliant operating systems, for example Windows® XP, Win-
dows® XP Embedded, must take into consideration that the stepping and revi-
sion ID of the chipset and/or other onboard PCI devices may change. Thus, a
re-configuration of the operating system installation image deployed for a pre-
vious chipset stepping or revision ID is in most cases required. The correspond-
ing operating system will detect new devices according to the Plug and Play
configuration rules.
