Installing hard disks

The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal performance,

install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.

Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks

To install the SATA hard disks for a RAID configuration:

1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.
2. Connect the SATA signal cables.
3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a RAID set,

copy first the RAID driver from the support CD to a floppy disk before you install

an operating system to a selected hard disk drive. Refer to section “5.6 Creating

a RAID driver disk” for details.

Refer to the RAID controllers user manual in the motherboard support CD for

detailed information on RAID configurations. See section “5.2.4 Manuals menu.”
