Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) (Controller: Intel ICH7R)

"*" Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID array on the SATA controller

To configure SATA hard drive(s), follow the steps below:

(1) Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system.

(2) Configure SATA controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup.

(3)* Configure RAID set in RAID BIOS.

(4) Make a floppy disk containing the SATA controller driver.

(5) Install the SATA controller driver during OS installation.

Before you begin

Please prepare:

(a) Two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard

drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID with the SATA

controller, you may prepare only one hard drive.

(b) An empty formatted floppy disk.

(d) Driver CD for your motherboard.

(1) Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your computer

Attach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available

SATA 3Gb/s port(s) on the motherboard. Then connect the power connector from your power supply to

the hard drive.

SATA Hard Drives Configurations (Intel ICH7R)- 3 -

(2) Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup

You have to make sure whether the SATA controller is configured correctly in system BIOS Setup and

set BIOS boot sequence for the SATA hard drive(s).

Step 1:

Turn on your computer and press Del to enter BIOS Setup during POST (Power-On Self Test). If you

want to create RAID, set SATA RAID/AHCI Mode under the Integrated Peripherals menu to RAID

(Disabled by default). Then, set On-Chip SATA Mode to Manual or Auto (default) based on your

own requirements.

Figure 1

The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may not show the exact settings for your

motherboard. The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard

you have and the BIOS version.

(3) Configuring RAID set in RAID BIOS

Enter the RAID BIOS setup utility to configure a RAID array. Skip this step and proceed to Section 4 if

you do not want to create RAID.

Step 1:

After the POST memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins, look for a message

which says "Press <Ctrl-I> to enter Configuration utility" (Figure 4). Press CTRL+ I to enter the RAID

BIOS setup utility.

Figure 4

Step 2:

After you press CTRL+ I, the Create RAID Volume screen will appear (Figure 5).

Step 3:

After entering the Create Volume Menu screen, name the disk array with 1~16 letters (letters cannot be

special characters) under the Name item. When finished, press ENTER to select a RAID level (Figure

(4) Making a SATA Driver Disk

To install Windows 2000/XP onto a SATA hard drives on the ICH6R controller successfully, you need

to install required driver for the SATA controller during OS installation. Without the driver, the hard drives

may not be recognized during the Windows setup process.

First of all, you need to copy the driver for the SATA controller from the motherboard driver CD to a

floppy disk. The instructions below explain how to copy the driver.

Step 1: Find an available system and insert the motherboard driver CD into the CD-ROM drive. The

installation utility will appear automatically. Quit the installation utility first.

Step 2: Go to My Computer and right-click the CD-ROM drive icon and select Open (Figure 11).

Step 3: Go to the BootDrv folder and look for an executable program named MENU.exe (Figure 12).

Step 5:

Insert an empty floppy disk and press 1 to select 7) Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager 32bit. Then it

will take about one minute to copy the SATA driver from the motherboard driver CD to the floppy disk.

Step 6:

Press 0to exit when the procedure is complete (Figure 14). You have copied the SATA driver

sucessfully.

Step 4:

Double-click MENU.exe. An MS-DOS prompt screen similar to Figure 13 below will appear.

If you wish to install 64-bit Windows Operating System, select 8) Intel(R) Matrix Storage

Manager 64bit.
