4-1-4 Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) (Controller: Intel ICH7-DH)

To configure SATA hard drive(s), follow the steps below:

(1) Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system.

(2) Configure SATA controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup.

(3)* Configure RAID set in RAID BIOS.

(4) Make a floppy disk containing the SATA controller driver.

(5) Install the SATA controller driver during OS installation.

Before you begin

Please prepare:

(a) 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 with the SATA

controller, you may prepare only one hard drive.

(b) An empty formatted floppy disk.

(d) Driver CD for your motherboard.

(1) 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 3Gb/s port(s) on the motherboard. Then connect the power connector from your power supply to

the hard drive.

"*" Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID array on the SATA controller
