Installation Installation Installation Installation Installation
This motherboard adopts ATI
ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID
10) functions. You may install SATA / SATAII hard disks on this motherboard for
internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA / SATAII
hard disks.
STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.
STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk.
STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard's SATAII
connector.
STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard
disk.
1. If you plan to use RAID 0 or RAID 1 function, you need to install at least 2
SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 10 function, you need to
install 4 SATA / SATAII hard disks.
2. It is recommended to build RAID 0, RAID 1 or RAID 10 on internal SATA/
SATAII ports. In other words, if SATAII_RED (PORT 1) and SATAII_ORANGE
(PORT 2) are used for eSATAII ports, please build RAID on SATAII_BLUE
(PORT 4) and SATAII_BLACK (PORT 3).
3. For OS installation on SATA / SATAII HDDs, please refer to page 32 to 37
for details. If you install a new SATA / SATAII HDD just for data storage
purpose, and your SATA / SATAII mode is in RAID or AHCI mode, this
empty SATA / SATAII HDD information will not appear in "Disk
Management". You need to enter WebPAM to create JBOD first, which
means, after you enter WebPAM, please click "Logical Drive View"
"Create"
information in "Disk Management" and start to use it. (WebPAM is an utility
for ATI TM Windows RAID. Please refer to RAID Installation Guide in our
support CD for detailed operation procedures.)

This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions for SATA / SATAII /
eSATAII Devices in RAID / AHCI mode. ATI
support for Advanced Host controller Interface (AHCI), a new programming interface for
SATA host controllers developed thru a joint industry effort. AHCI also provides usability
enhancements such as Hot Plug.
