5-1-2 Configuring GIGABYTE SATA2/JMB322 SATA Controller
A. 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
port on the motherboard. On this motherboard, the GSATA2_0~3 ports are supported by the GIGABYTE SATA2/
JMB322 SATA controller.) Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive.
B. Enabling the SATA controllers and configuring hard drive mode in BIOS Setup
Make sure to enable the SATA controllers and configure hard drive mode in system BIOS Setup.
Step 1:
Turn on your computer and press <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup during the POST. In BIOS Setup, go to
Integrated Peripherals, ensure that Onboard SATA/IDE Device is enabled. (We recommend that
you leave Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode to the default IDE mode.)
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 motherboard
you have and the BIOS version.
Step 2:
Press <Enter> on Smart Backup and go to the Controller 0 (GSATA2 0/1) or Controller 1 (GSATA2
2/3) submenu, depending on which ports you want to use (Controller 0 (GSATA2 0/1) controls the
GSATA2_0~1 ports and Controller 1 (GSATA2 2/3) controls the GSATA2_2~3 ports). Then enter the
Smart Backup Config submenu (Figure 2).
