Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) (Controller: Silicon Image Sil3112)
"*" 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.
(c) Windows XP/2000 setup disk.
(d) Driver CD for your motherboard.
(1) Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your system
Attach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available
SATA port(s) on the motherboard (If there are more than one SATA controller on your motherboard, you
may check the name of the SATA connnector to identify the SATA controlller for the connector. For
example, SATA0_SII/SATA1_SII is controlled by the Sil3112 controller). Then connect the power
connector from your power supply to the hard drive.

(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). In BIOS
Setup menu, go to Integrated Peripherals and assure that Onboard H/W SATA is enabled. If you want
to create RAID, set the Serial ATA Function item to RAID (RAID by default) (Figure 1). Change the
Serial ATA Function item to BASE if you do not want to create RAID.
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 .

Step 2:
Select Hard Disk Boot Priority under the Advanced BIOS Features menu. In the Hard Disk Boot
Priority submenu, select the model of the SATA hard drive onto which you want to install Microsoft
Windows 2000/XP (Figure 2).
Step 3:
Set First Boot Device under the Advanced BIOS Features menu to CD-ROM to boot from CD-ROM
drive after system restarts (Figure 3).
Step 4:
Save and exit BIOS Setup.

Step 2:
After you enter the RAID Configuration Utility, a screen similar to that below will appear (Figure 5).
Main Menu: The Main Menu in the upper left corner allows you to use the UP or DOWN ARROW key
to highlight through choices. Highlight an item that you want to execute and press ENTER.
The Create RAID set selection allows user to create a new RAID Set. If there is a previously created
RAID set on the hard drives, it is recommended that you back up the data and remove the old RAID
set before creating a new RAID set.
The Delete RAID set selection allows users to delete an existing RAID set.
The Rebuild Mirrored set is used to initiate the copying of data from an existing drive to a replacement
drive that has been installed in a RAID 1 set after the failure of one of the members.
The Resolve Conflicts is used to automatically find the member drives of a RAID set which has
been disrupted (physical drives swapped around, for example) and restore the RAID set to proper
operation.
(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 Power-On Self Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins,
look for a message which says "Press <Ctrl+S> or <F4> to enter RAID utility"(Figure 4). Hit the
CTRL+ S or F4 key(s) to enter the RAID BIOS setup utility. If you cannot enter the RAID BIOS correctly,
assure that your SATA drives are properly installed.

Step 3:
Create RAID set:
Select Create RAID set and press ENTER, and then the RAID type selection menu will appear (Figure
6). Use UP or DOWN ARROW key to select a RAID type that you want to create and press ENTER.
The options include Striped (RAID 0) and Mirrored (RAID 1).
Step 4:
After the selection of a RAID type, select Auto configuration or Manual configuration (Figure 7). If
Auto configuration is selected, BIOS will automatically assign RAID member drives and set the chunk
size of Striped Sets to 64KB. If Manual configuration is selected, you can manually change the chunk
size (from 4K to 128K) and then assign the drives to be used in the RAID array.

Step 5:
After finishing all the settings of a RAID set and press ENTER, the prompt "Are You Sure?" will appear.
Press Y to confirm your selection. After the RAID array is created, the lower-left screen will list the RAID
set information, including RAID type, chunk size and toal array size (Figure 8).
If you want to remove one or more RAID sets, select Delete RAID set item (Figure 9) in Main Menu.
Press ENTER and follow the on-screen instructions to delete the RAID set.
After completing the configuration, press CTRL+E to exit the RAID Configuration Utility.
Now, you can proceed to the installation of the SATA driver and operating system.

(4) Making a SATA controller driver disk
To install Windows 2000/XP onto a SATA hard disk on the Sil3112 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 10).
Figure 10
Figure 11
Step 3: Go to the BootDrv folder and look for an executable program named MENU.exe (Figure 11).

Step 4:
Double-click MENU.exe. An MS-DOS prompt screen similar to Figure 12 below will appear.
Figure 12
Step 5:
Insert an empty floppy disk. If you want to create RAID array(s), press 4 to select the 4)SilRAID item.
If you do not want to create RAID array, press 3 to select 3)SiIBASE. 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 13). You have copied the SATA driver sucessfully.

Step 2:
When a screen similar to that below appears (Figure 15), insert the floppy disk containing the SATA driver
and press S.
(5) Installing SATA controller driver during OS installation
Now that you have prepared a floppy disk with the SATA controller driver and configured BIOS settings,
you are ready to install Windows 2000/XP onto your SATA hard drive with the driver. The following is
an example of Windows XP installation.
Step 1: Restart your system to boot from the Windows 2000/XP Setup disk and press F6
as soon as you see the "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver" message
(Figure 20). After pressing F6, there will be a few moments of some files being loaded before you see
the next screen.
