5.4.1 Installing the Hard Disks

The RAID 0 setting allows users to reformat two hard disks with the same new OS

simultaneously. RAID 1 arrays can use a pre-existing hard disk along with a blank

hard disk, or two new hard disks.

1. Install the first and second hard disk into the hard disk bays of your system.

Connect each hard disk drive with a separate UltraDMA/100 cable, one to the

Primary ATA IDE1 connector, and the other to the Secondary ATA IDE2 connector

onboard the A7V266-E.

2. Connect the power cables to the hard disks.

3. Ensure that the ATA/100 / RAID 0/1 jumper 3 is reset from the default: [1-2] to

the RAID 0/1 setting: [2-3].

(See: Section 3.4.2, Hardware Setup: Motherboard Settings)

4. Boot-up the PC.

5.4.2 Enter FastTrak100 BIOS and FastBuild Utility

1. Boot-up your computer once more. If this is the first time you have booted

with two hard disks correctly installed, then FastTrak100™ “Lite” BIOS

scans the IDE drives and displays this screen:
