Chapter 3 Appendix
 •Before installing the drivers, first install the operating system. •After installing the operating system, insert the motherboard driver disk into your optical drive. The driver Autorun screen is automatically displayed which looks like that shown in the screen shot below. (If the driver Autorun screen does not appear automatically, go to My Computer, double-click the optical drive and execute the Run.exe program.)
After inserting the driver disk, "Xpress Install" will automatically scan your system and then list all the drivers that are recommended to install. You can click the Install All button and "Xpress Install" will install all the recommended drivers. Or click Install Single Items to manually select the drivers you wish to install.
3-1 Drivers Installation
3-2	 Configuring	SATA 	Hard	Drive(s)
Before you begin •At least 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, you may prepare only one hard drive. •Windows 7/XP setup disk. •Motherboard driver disk. •A USB floppy disk drive (needed during Windows XP installation) •An empty formatted floppy disk (needed during Windows XP installation)
Configuring	the	Onboard	SATA 	Controller
A. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your computerAttach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available SATA port on the motherboard. Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard driv\
e.
B.	Configuring	SATA	controller	mode	in	BIOS	SetupMake sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup. For the BIOS Setup menus, refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Integrated Peripherals." Steps:1. Turn on your computer and press  to enter BIOS Setup during the P\
OST (Power-On Self-Test). Ensure OnChip SATA Controller is enabled under Integrated Peripherals. To enable RAID for the SATA2 0/1/2/3 connectors, set OnChip SATA Type to RAID. To enable RAID for the SATA2 4/SATA2 5 connectors, set OnChip SATA Type to RAID and set OnChip SATA Port4/5 Type to As SATA Type.2. Save changes and exit BIOS Setup.
The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may differ from the exact settings for your motherboard. The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the moth\
erboard you have and the BIOS version.
C.	Configuring	a	RAID	array	in	RAID	BIOSEnter the RAID BIOS setup utility to configure a RAID array. After the POST memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins, look for a message which says "Press  to enter RAID Option ROM Utility". Press  +  to enter the RAID BIOS setup utility. To create a new array, press  to enter the Define	LD	Menu  window,  use  the  up  or  down  arrow  key  to  move  to  an  item  for  further  configuration.  In  the following procedure, we'll create RAID 0 as an example.

Steps:1. Under the RAID Mode section, press the  key to select RAID 0.2. Set the Stripe Block size. 64 KB is the default.3. Under the Drives Assignments section, press the up or down arrow key to highlight a drive.4. Press the  key or  to change the Assignment option to Y. This action adds the drive to the disk array. The Total Drv section will show the number of disks assigned.5. Press + keys to save the information. The message in Figure 1 will appear. Press + to clear the MBR or press other keys to ignore this option.
6. Then, the window below will appear. Press + to set the capacity of the RAID array or press other keys to set the array to its maximum capacity.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Fast Initialization Option has been selectedIt will erase the MBR data of the disk.
Press Ctrl-Y to Modify Array Capacity or press any other key to use maximum capacity ...
7. After the creation is complete, the screen will return to Define	LD	Menu where you will see the newly-created array. 8. Press  to return to Main Menu and press  again if you want to exit the RAID BIOS utility.
Making a SATA RAID/AHCI Driver DisketteBefore installing Windows XP, connect a USB floppy disk drive to your computer first because you need to install the SATA RAID/AHCI driver from a floppy disk that contains the driver during the OS installation. To copy the RAID/AHCI driver for Windows XP, copy all files in the \BootDrv\SBxxx\x86 folder in the motherboard driver disk to your floppy disk. To install Windows 64-Bit, copy the files in the x64 folder.
Installing the SATA RAID/AHCI Driver and Operating System
A. Installing Windows XPRestart your system to boot from the Windows XP setup disk and press  as soon as you see the message "Press  F6  if  you  need  to  install  a  3rd  party  SCSI  or  RAID  driver."  Insert  the  floppy  disk  containing  the  SATA RAID/AHCI driver. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver that suits you\
r operating system. When completed, proceed with the Windows XP installation.
B. Installing Windows 7Restart your system to boot from the Windows 7 setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps. Select Load Driver. Insert the motherboard driver disk and then browse to the location of the driver.Then follow the on-screen instructions to load the driver. The locations of the drivers for Windows 7 are as follows:RAID driver for Windows 32-bit: \BootDrv\SBxxxW7\RAID\W7 RAID driver for Windows 64-bit: \BootDrv\SBxxxW7\RAID\W764A  AHCI driver for Windows 32-bit: \BootDrv\SBxxxW7\AHCI\Win7x86 AHCI driver for Windows 64-bit: \BootDrv\SBxxxW7\AHCI\Win7x64 
After loading the driver, continue the OS installation.
