1. Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installation

1.1 Serial ATA (SATA) Hard Disks Installation

This motherboard adopts ALi M5283 IDE controller chip that supports Serial ATA

(SATA) hard disks. You may install SATA hard disks on this motherboard for internal

storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA hard disks.

STEP 1: Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays of your

chassis.

STEP 2: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the

motherboard’s primary SATA connector (SATA1).

STEP 3: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the

primary SATA hard disk.

STEP 4: Connect one end of the second SATA data cable to the

motherboard’s secondary SATA connector (SATA2).

STEP 5: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the

secondary SATA hard disk.

STEP 6: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA hard disk.

1.2 Making An SATA Driver Diskette

If you want to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your system while you only

have SATA HDDs on your system, 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 diskette into

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 devices selection

appears. Please select CD-ROM as the boot device.

STEP 3: When you see the message on the screen, “Do you want

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 will

lose ALL data in it!

Start to format and copy files [YN]?

Please insert a floppy diskette into the floppy drive, and

press <Y>.

STEP 5: The system will start to format the floppy diskette and

copy SATA drivers into the floppy diskette.

Once you have the SATA driver diskette ready, you may start to

install Windows 2000 / Windows XP on your system directly

without setting the RAID configuration on your system, or you may

start to use “ALi RAID BIOS Setup Utility” to set RAID 0 / RAID 1 /

JBOD configuration before you install the OS.

2. Guide to RAID Configurations (RAID 0 / RAID 1 / JBOD)

2.1 Introduction of RAID

This motherboard adopts ALi M5283 IDE controller chip that supports RAID 0 / RAID 1

/ JBOD function with two independent Serial ATA (SATA) channels. This section will

introduce the basic knowledge of RAID, and the guide to configure RAID 0, RAID 1,

and JBOD settings.

RAID

The term “RAID” stands for “Redundant Array of Independent Disks”,

which is a method combining two or more hard disk drives into one

logical unit. For optimal performance, please install identical drives of

the same model and capacity when creating a RAID set.

RAID 0 (Data Striping)

RAID 0 is called data striping that optimizes two identical

hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel,

interleaved stacks. It will improve data access and storage

since it will double the data transfer rate of a single disk

alone while the two hard disks perform the same work as a

single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate.

WARNING!!

Although RAID 0 function can improve the access

performance, it does not provide any fault

tolerance.

RAID 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

JBOD (Just a Bunch of Drives) is also called data spanning.

It will expands the capacity of your drive and results in a

useable total capacity since it will make several hard disk

types configured as a single hard disk, and the hard drives

are simply hooked up in series. However, JBOD will not

increase any performance or data security.

2.2 RAID Configurations Precautions

1. It is recommended to use two new drives if you are creating a

RAID 0 (striping) array for performance.

2. You may use two new drives, or use an existing drive and a

new drive to create a RAID 1 (mirroring) array for data

protection (the new drive must be of the same size or larger

than the existing drive). If you use two drives of different sizes,

the smaller capacity hard disk will be the base storage size.

For example, if one hard disk has an 80GB storage capacity

and the other hard disk has 60GB, the maximum storage

capacity for the RAID 1 set is 60GB.

3. Please verify the status of your hard disks before you set up

your new RAID array.

2.3 RAID 0 Configuration

This section will guide you to configure RAID 0. To set RAID 0 configuration, please

follow the instruction below to use “ALi RAID BIOS Setup Utility” for the setting of

RAID 0 configuration.

STEP 1: Boot-up your computer.

STEP 2: Press <Ctrl> and <A> simultaneously to enter the main

menu of “ALi RAID BIOS Setup Utility”.

Before you create RAID 0, please make sure the

data in the selected drives is no longer in use.

STEP 6: After the RAID drives are created, it will appear the following

message “Input RAID name (8 characters): ” for you to key in

a name for the newly created array. The effective characters

for an array name are <0>-<9>, <A>-<Z>, <a>-<z>, <Space>
