							Windows XP Driver Installation (Windows XP 32-bit)
NOTE:  Newer  operating systems such as Windows 7  or 8,  MacOS  and Linux with kernel  version 2.6.19 or
later will recognize the controller as an AHCI compliant controller and do not need any driver.
1. After following the Hardware Installation steps, Windows XP will start with the “Found New Hardware
Wizard.” Before proceeding, insert the Host Adapter Driver Disc.
2. Respond to the first question: “Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?” by
choosing “No, not this time.” Then click Next.
3. Respond to the question: “What do you want the wizard to do?” by keeping the default setting “Install
the software automatically [Recommended].”
4. Respond   to  the   next   step   “Please   select   the   best   match   for  your   hardware  from   the   list   below”  by
choosing the line that ends with “\miniport\i386\mv91xx.inf.”
5. Another   wizard   will   appear   next.   Also   choose   “No,   not   this   time”   and   “Install   the   software
automatically”   to   the   next   prompts,   and   during   selection,   choose   the   line   ending   with
“\miniport\i386\mv91cons.inf.”
Software Installation (Windows Only)
1. Insert the Host Adapter Driver Disc if not already done.
2. Launch the application MSUSetup.exe.
3. Read and accept the License Agreement.
4. Respond to all remaining prompts by clicking Next.
5. During this process, a “Windows Security Alert” dialog should  appear, asking  about firewall blocking
for a program called “Apache HTTP Server.” Click “Unblock” to enable the software to connect to the
hard    ware properly, then click Finish on the Installation Wizard.
Setting Up Hardware RAID
This   adapters   hardware   RAID   capabilities   may   be   configured   using   either   the   BIOS   utility   or   the   Marvell
Storage Utility. There is no functional difference, other than the BIOS utility can prepare an array without an
operating   system   (which   may   then   be   installed   onto   the   array)   and   the   Marvell   Storage   Utility   has   the
c
onvenience of a Graphical User Interface.
This adapter supports RAID 0 (2, 3 or 4 devices), RAID 1 (2 devices), or RAID 10 (4 devices).
Starting the Marvell Storage Utility
The first time this program is started, it will launch your default web browser, which should immediately show
a   security   warning.   This  is  due   to  the   secure   connection   to   the   Controller   subsystem   using   a   “self-signed
certificate” (cookie). Allow your browser to add this certificate as an exception to proceed.
Logging   onto   the   Storage   Utility   uses   the   same   credentials  you   use   for   Windows.   Your   current   Windows
username should appear. Enter your Windows password and click Login. If this doesnt work, try deleting the
password (leaving that box blank) then click Login.
To set up an array, click on the Adapter listed under Device. On the right side is the Operation tab – move the
mouse to that tab to find the Create RAID function.
For  more   information  on   using   the  Marvell   Storage   Utility  or  the   RAID   BIOS,   click  on  the  small   blue  circle
containing a question mark in the upper-right corner of the Utility, then select User Guide.
