This section lists frequently asked questions involving pre-installation, drive
issues, installation, and post-installation.
Pre-Installation
(Speed, Device Types, Capacity, Cabling)
Q: What kind of hard drives can I use for a PDC20319 SATA RAID Controller
array?
A: You can use any Serial ATA hard drive(s) to create arrays on the Controller.
You should use matching drives for multiple-drive arrays to maximize capacity
usage as well as performance.
Q: Will ACPI work with HDDs on the PDC20319 SATA RAID Controller?
A: Yes.
Q: Can I use ATAPI devices on the PDC20319 SATA RAID Controller?
A: No. The Controller does not support ATAPI devices.
Q: Will the PDC20319 SATA RAID Controller work with 66MHz PCI bus
speed?
A: Yes, the Controller is designed to accommodate the newer PCI bus speed
and is backward compatible with 33MHz speeds.
Q: How can I change the resources that the PDC20319 SATA RAID Controller
uses?
A: The Controller is fully PnP. This means all the resources that it uses are
given to it by the PnP BIOS on the motherboard. The Controller does support
IRQ sharing, but this will not work unless ALL the concerned devices support the
feature. If your motherboard allows you to control the assignment of these
resources, you may be able to remedy the problem by:
Changing the IRQ assignments to the PCI slots in the motherboard BIOS during
boot up.
Reset the configuration data in your CMOS. This is usually an option in the PnP
section of your CMOS.
Otherwise, switch the PDC20319 SATA RAID Controller to a different PCI slot.
