Chapter 4: SATA/RAID Setup (for SATA RAID model)
The motherboard includes the Promise
ATA interfaces and one Parallel ATA133 interface to support RAID 0, 1 or 0+1 configuration
Note: The PDC20378 only supports HDD devices. It does NOT support ATAPI devices such
as CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, etc. Please move your ATAPI device to the onboard IDE channel.
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.
4.1 – Getting Started
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 as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1) array on your SATA
RAID Controller, do NOT connect the hard drive to the SATA RAID 378
controller yet.
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.
The PDC20378 controller supports up to two Serial ATA hard drives and two Parallel ATA
hard drives
1.
Configure the jumpers of the Parallel ATA hard drive you're preparing to connect to the
SATA RAID 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 the power
cables.
3.
Attach the Parallel ATA cable to the hard drive(s) and to the Parallel ATA Port connector
on the SATA RAID controller. 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 SATA RAID
controller. All of the connectors are keyed so they will only attach one way.
PDC20378 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.
