Connecting hard drives with onboard ATAPI CD-ROM:
Please
DO NOT
attach ATAPI devices to
this IDE RAID controller card. Hot Rod 100
Pro is for hard drives only.
ATAPI IDE CD-ROM drives or other
devices can be installed on motherboard or
add-on IDE controllers. No configuration is
necessary on the motherboard BIOS setup.
Connecting hard drives with onboard IDE controller:
This IDE RAID controller card can coexist
with onboard or add-on IDE controller(s)
and hard drives installed.
If the motherboard’s CMOS has a “boot to
SCSI” option, it is possible to boot from this
IDE RAID controller card and still
recognize the onboard non-bootable drives.
If the motherboard’s CMOS does not allow
booting to SCSI, the boot drive must be
attached on the onboard IDE controller.
