Intermittent data problems
Overclocking the PCI bus may cause the system to hang or data corruption.
If you experience either of these problems and you are overclocking the PCI
bus, set the PCI bus back to its normal setting to see if this is causing the
errors.
System CMOS Issues
Set Motherboard CMOS Boot sequence to boot to SATAII150 or SATA300
Serial ATA Controller
On some Motherboard BIOS, it is necessary to set the Boot sequence to
SCSI, A:, C: since the Promise card is identified as a SCSI card.
Motherboard CMOS displays C: or D: drive failure during startup
See the Drive-Related Errors section.
Using an Onboard IDE Card with SATAII150 or SATA300 Serial ATA
Controller
If an onboard IDE controller is installed with hard disks, enable support in the
Motherboard Standard CMOS Setup for the drives. Note that the onboard
IDE hard drives will then be the bootable hard disk unless the system BIOS
has a boot sequence setting with the option to specify booting to a different
device.
Drive-Related Issues
Drives cannot be formed into an array
The SATAII150 and SATA300 Controllers support Serial ATA disk drives but
they do not support RAID. Therefore you cannot build a RAID array with this
product.
System CMOS displays C: or D: drive failure during Startup
Do not reference C: or D: in the Motherboard Standard CMOS for drives
attached to the SATAII150 or SATA300 TX Series Serial ATA Controller. Only
enter drive information in the Motherboard CMOS for drives attached to the
onboard IDE controller.
