B. Configuring SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup
Make sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup.
Step 1:
Turn on your computer and press <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup during the POST (Power-On Self-Test).
Under Integrated Peripherals, ensure NV Serial-ATA Controller is enabled. To enable all four SATA
3Gb/s connectors, set this item to All Enabled (Figure 1). SATA-1 controls the SATAII0 and SATAII1
connectors only. To configure a RAID array, go to the SATA-II RAID Config submenu (Figure 2).
Figure 1
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:
Save changes and exit BIOS Setup.
Enable the SATA connectors with hard drives that you want to use for RAID. For example, SATA-II 1
Primary RAID is for the SATAII0 connector and SATA-II 1 Secondary RAID for the SATAII1 connector
(Figure 2).
