5-1 Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)<br />
To configure SATA hard drive(s), follow the steps below:<br />
A. Install SATA hard drive(s) in your computer.<br />
B. Configure SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup.<br />
C.<br />
(Note 1)<br />
Configure a RAID array in RAID BIOS.<br />
D.<br />
(Note 2)<br />
Make a floppy disk containing the SATA RAID/AHCI driver.<br />
E.<br />
(Note 2)<br />
Install the SATA RAID/AHCI driver and operating system.<br />
Before you begin<br />
Please prepare:<br />
• At least two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use<br />
two hard drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID, you may<br />
prepare only one hard drive.<br />
• An empty formatted floppy disk.<br />
• Windows Vista/XP setup disk.<br />
• Motherboard driver disk.<br />
5-1-1 Configuring Intel ICH10R SATA Controllers<br />
A. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your computer<br />
Attach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available<br />
SATA port on the motherboard. If there is more than one SATA controller on your motherboard, refer to<br />
"Chapter 1," "<strong>Hardware</strong> Installation," to identify the SATA controller for the SATA port. (For example, on<br />
this motherboard, the SATA2_0, SATA2_1, SATA2_2, SATA2_3, SATA2_4 and SATA2_5 ports are<br />
supported by ICH10R South Bridge.) Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the<br />
hard drive.<br />
(Note 1) Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID array on the SATA controller.<br />
(Note 2) Required when the SATA controller is set to AHCI or RAID mode.<br />
