Chapter 4: SATA/RAID Setup

The motherboard supports RAID 0 or 1 for Serial ATA drives through the Intel
6300ESB chipset. The Serial ATA as RAID option must be enabled in the BIOS
before the system can load the Adaptec
®
RAID. The Adaptec RAID option ROM is a standard PnP (Plug and Play)
option ROM that provides a pre-operating system user interface for the Intel
RAID implementation. It also allows the boot order to be selected from within
the BIOS setup utility.
For this information, please check Tyan's web site at:
Before installing the driver into an existing system, backup any
important or useful data. Failure to follow this accepted PC
practice could result in data loss.
The Intel RAID feature is available in Win2000 and WinXP.

4.1 BIOS Configuration

Enter the BIOS setup program by pressing the <F2> key after the Power-
On Self Test (POST) memory test begins.
Select the Advanced menu.
Switch the SATA RAID Enabled option from Disabled to Enabled
Press <F10> to save the BIOS setting and exit the BIOS setup program.

4.2 Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks

Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks requires the use of a new SATA data
cable (4-conductor) which supports the Serial ATA protocol and a SATA power
cable. Either end of the SATA data cable can be connected to the SATA hard
disk or the SATA connector on the motherboard.
Both the data and power SATA cables are new cables. You
cannot use older 40-pin 80-conductor IDE or regular IDE
power cables with SATA hard drives.
Carefully follow any technical instructions that come from
the hard disk manufacturer.
Follow the given steps for correct cable installation:
