Intel ICH10DO/DO DH only)
Please follow up the steps below to configure SATA hard drive(s):

(3) Configure RAID by the RAID BIOS.
(4) Create a floppy disk for the SATA controller driver.
(5) Install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation.
Before you begin the SATA configuration, please prepare:
(a) Two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two

to available SATA port(s) on the board. Then, connect the power connector of power supply to
the hard drive.
(2) Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence by the BIOS Setup
You have to make sure whether the SATA controller is configured correctly by system BIOS
Setup and set up BIOS boot sequence for the SATA hard drive(s).
