You may install SATA harddisks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. Thissection will guide you to install the SATA hard disks.STEP 1:Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays of yourchassis.STEP 2:Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA hard disk.STEP 3:Connect one end of the SATA data cable to themotherboard’s SATA connector.STEP 4:Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to theSATA hard disk.1.2Making An SATA Driver DisketteIf you want to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP on yourSATA HDDs, you will need to make an SATA driver diskette before you start the OS installation.STEP 1:Insert the ASRock Support CD into your optical drive to boot your system. (Do NOT insert any floppy disketteinto the floppy drive at this moment!)STEP 2:During POST at the beginning of system boot-up, press <F11> key, and then a window for boot devicesselection appears. Please select CD-ROM as the bootdevice.STEP 3:When you see the message on the screen, “Do youwant to generate Serial ATA driver diskette [YN]?”,press <Y>.STEP 4:Then you will see these messages,Please insert a diskette into the floppy drive.WARNING! Formatting the floppy diskette willlose ALL data in it!Start to format and copy files [YN]?Please insert a floppy diskette into the floppy drive, andpress <Y>.STEP 5:The system will start to format the floppy diskette andcopy SATA drivers into the floppy diskette.Once you have the SATA driver diskette ready, you may start toinstall Windows 2000 / Windows XP on your system directlywithout setting the RAID configuration on your system, or youmay start to use “VT8237 SATA RAID BIOS” to set RAID 0 / RAID 1 / JBOD configuration before you install the OS. You may also setthe RAID configuration by using “VIA RAID Tool” in Windowsenvironment. Please refer to the document in the Support CD,“Guide to VIA RAID Tool”, which is located in the folder at thefollowing path:.. \ VIA RAID ToolRAID 1 (Data Mirroring)RAID 1 is called data mirroring that copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a second drive. It provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system since the disk array management software will direct all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive if one drive fails.JBOD (Spanning)A spanning disk array is equal to the sum of all drives. Spanning stores data onto a drive until it is full then proceeds to store files onto the next drive in the array. When any member disk fails, it will affect the entire array. JBOD is not really a RAID, and it does not support fault tolerance.2.3BIOS Configuration Utility2.3.1Enter BIOS Configuration UtilityAfter the system powers on, the following information will appear on the screen. Press ‘Tab’ key to enter BIOS configuration utility.The main interface of BIOS configuration utility is as below:2.3.2Create Disk Array1.Within the main interface, use the up and down arrowkey to highlight the Create Array command and press<Enter> to call out the list of creation steps.2.Highlight the Array Mode and press <Enter>, then a listof array modes will appear. Just highlight the targetarray mode that you want to create, and press <Enter>to confirm the selection.3.There are two methods to create a disk array. Onemethod is “Auto Setup”, and another is “Select DiskDrives”. Select “Auto Setup” to allow BIOS to selectthe disk drives and create array automatically. Select“Select Disk Drives” to let user select the array drivesmanually. When using Select Disk Drives method, thechannel column will be activated. Just highlight the targetdrives that you want to use and press <Enter> to selectthem respectively. When all drives have been selected,press <Esc> to go back to the creation steps menu.Use the arrow key to highlight the Start Create Process and press <Enter>, then a warning message will appear. Press Y to finish the creation, or press N to cancel the creation.Important note:The content of the hard drive will be destroyed after array creation.Create RAID 1The data on disk drives will be destroyed if user uses “Auto Setup” to create RAID 1. But you can reserve the data on source drive if you use “Select Disk Drives” to select the source and the mirror drive.Press “y” to copy data of source to mirror drive. There is a limitation when using this feature. The capacity of mirror drive must be greater or equal to the source drive; otherwise the RAID 1 can’t be created and a error message will appear: “Error: mirror’s size is smaller than source Press ESC return”. If user does not want to duplicate data, the data on the source and the mirror drive will be destroyed.Create JBODThe data on disk drives will be destroyed if user uses “Auto Setup” to create a JBOD. However, you can reserve the data on the first disk drive of a JBOD array if you use “Select Disk Drives” to select disk drivesThe data on the first disk drive will be reserved and the other disk drives in JBOD will be expanded behind the first disk drive and become free space.Expand Span (JBOD) Array function is not available if VT8237 only supports 2 SATA ports.2.3.3Delete Disk ArrayUser can delete a specific RAID that has been created. Following are the steps to delete a created disk array.e arrow key to highlight Delete Array item in main menuinterface, and press <Enter>. The channel column will beactivated.e arrow key to highlight the target disk drive and press<Enter>. A warning message will appear. Press Y to delete a specific array or press N to cancel.Delete a disk array will destroy all the data on the disk array except RAID 1. When a RAID 1 is deleted, the data on these two hard disk drives will be reserved and become two normal disks.2.3.4Select Boot ArrayUser can select a disk array as boot device if user wants to boot operating system from an array. Boot disk array may not be selected if user does not boot the Operating System from the disk array. Use the arrow key to highlight the “Select Boot Disk” item then press <Enter>. The channel column will be activated. Just use arrow key to highlight the target disk array then press<Enter>. If user select a disk array that has a boot mark and press <Enter>, then its boot setting will be canceled.3.Installation of Windows 2000 / Windows XPFor the installation of Windows 2000 or Windows XP, please insertWindows 2000 or Windows XP CD into the optical drive. Then removethe floppy diskette, and reboot the system. At the very beginning, youwill see the message at the bottom of the screen, “Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver....”At this moment, please press <F6> key and the following information will appear.Please press <S> key to install the SATA driver diskette that you previously made. You will see the instruction as followed.After inserting the SATA HDD driver diskette and pressing <Enter> key, you will see the different versions of the SATA HDD drivers for you to install. Please use arrow keys to move the highlight bar to make your selection according to the OS you use.When the installation of the SATA HDD drivers is complete, please continue to follow the instructions of Windows 2000 or Windows XP for the proper installation.。
