& Save Profiles
This function allows you to save the current BIOS settings to a profile. You can create up to 8 profiles and
save as Setup Profile 1~ Setup Profile 8. Press <Enter> to complete. Or you can select Select File in
HDD/FDD/USB to save the profile to your storage device.
& Load Profiles
If your system becomes unstable and you have loaded the BIOS default settings, you can use this function
to load the BIOS settings from a profile created before, without the hassles of reconfiguring the BIOS
settings. First select the profile you wish to load and then press <Enter> to complete. You can select Select
File in HDD/FDD/USB to input the profile previously created from your storage device or load the profile
automatically created by the BIOS, such as reverting the BIOS settings to the last settings that worked
properly (last known good record).

Before you begin, please prepare the following items:
• At least two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard drives
with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID, you may prepare only one hard drive.
• Windows setup disk.
• Motherboard driver disk.
• A USB flash drive.
Configuring the Onboard SATA Controller
A. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your computer
Attach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available SATA
port on the motherboard. Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive.
B. Configuring SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup
Make sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup. For the BIOS Setup menus,
refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Peripherals."
Steps:
1. Turn on your computer and press <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup during the POST (Power-On Self-Test).
Ensure OnChip SATA Channel is enabled under Peripherals. Set OnChip SATA Type to RAID.
2. If you want to configure UEFI RAID, follow the steps in "C-1." To enter the legacy RAID ROM, save the
settings and exit BIOS Setup. Refer to "C-2" for more information.
The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may differ from the exact settings for your motherboard.
The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard you have and
the BIOS version.
