Installation

This motherboard adopts ULi M1697 chipset that supports Serial ATA (SATA) /

Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, JBOD, and

RAID 5) functions. You may install SATA / SATAII hard disks on this motherboard

for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA / SATAII

hard disks.

STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.

STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk.

STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATAII

connector.

STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard

disk.

1. If you plan to use RAID 0, RAID 1, or JBOD functions, you

need to install at least 2 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use

RAID 5 function, you need to install at least 3 SATA / SATAII hard disks.

If you plan to use RAID 0+1 function, you need to install at least 4 SATA

/ SATAII hard disks. If you install 2 eSATAII devices, then only RAID 0,

RAID 1, or JBOD functions will be enabled.

2. If you plan to use RAID functions on SATA / SATAII, SATA / SATAII HDDs

must be operated in “RAID” mode.

3. “RAID” and “non-RAID” mode are options under “SATA Operation Mode” in

BIOS setup. Please refer to page 42 for details.
