Serial ATA Chip - FastTrak 376

Step 1: Installing the Hard Drives

If you wish to include your current bootable Serial or Parallel
ATA drive using the Windows NT 4.x, Windows 2000, or
Windows XP operating system on your FastTrak 376 Controller.
You MUST install the Windows NT4, 2000, or XP driver software
first onto this drive while it is still attached to your existing hard
drive controller.
1.
Configure the jumpers of the Parallel ATA hard drive you're preparing
to connect to the FastTrak 376 controller using the proper Master,
Slave, or Cable-Select settings. For more information, refer to the
manual that came with your hard drive.
2.
Install all of the hard drives into the hard drive bays of your system,
including their power cables.
3.
Attach the Parallel ATA cable to the hard drive(s) and to the Parallel
ATA Port connector on the FastTrak 376 controller. The colored edge
of the cable indicates pin 1. The blue cable connector attaches to the
FastTrak 376.
4.
Attach Serial ATA data cable to each hard drive. Then attach the other
ends of the cables to one of the Serial ATA ports on the FastTrak 376
controller. All of the connectors are keyed so they will only attach one
way.
FastTrak 376 is a PCI Plug-n-Play (PnP) device. No changes are
necessary in the Motherboard CMOS Setup for resources or
drive types in most applications.
