Configuring SATAHardDrive(s)(Controller:nVIDIAnForce4 Ultra;

nVIDIAnForce4 SLI)

"*"Skipthisstep ifyou do notwanttocreateRAIDarrayon the SATAcontroller.

To configureSATAharddrive(s),followthestepsbelow:

(1)Install SATAharddrive(s)inyoursystem.

(2)ConfigureSATAcontrollermode and bootsequenceinBIOSSetup.

(3)*ConfigureRAIDsetinRAIDBIOS.

(4)Makeafloppydisk containing the SATAcontrollerdriver.

(5)Install the SATAcontrollerdriverduring OSinstallation.

Beforeyou begin

Pleaseprepare:

(a)AtleasttwoSATAharddrives(toensureoptimalperformance,itisrecommended thatyou usetwo

harddriveswithidenticalmodeland capacity).If you do notwanttocreateRAID,you mayprepare

onlyone harddrive.

(b)Anemptyformatted floppydisk.

(c)WindowsXP/2000 setup disk.

(d)DriverCD foryourmotherboard.

(1)Installing SATAharddrive(s)inyourcomputer

Attachone end ofthe SATAsignalcabletothe rearofthe SATAharddriveand the otherend toavailable

SATAport(s)on the motherboard.(If therearemorethan one SATAcontrolleron yourmotherboard,you

maycheck the nameofthe SATAconnectortoidentifythe SATAcontrollerforthe connector.Forexample,

S_ATA1_SB/S_ATA2_SB iscontrolled bythe SATAcontrolleron South-Bridge.)Then connectthe power

connectorfromyourpowersupplytothe harddrive.

(2)Configuring SATAcontrollermodeand bootsequence inBIOSSetup

You havetomakesurewhetherthe SATAcontrollerisconfigured correctlyinsystemBIOSSetup and

setBIOSbootsequenceforthe SATAharddrive(s)/RAIDarray.

Step 1:

Turnon yourcomputerand press DeltoenterBIOSSetup during POST(Power-OnSelfTest).If you want

tocreateRAID,makesurethatIDE/SATARAIDfunction underthe IntegratedPeripheralsmenu is

enabled (Figure1).Alsomakesurethatthe Serial-ATA1/Serial-ATA2areenabled (including SATA

1Primary/SecondaryRAID/SATA2Primary/SecondaryRAID),depending on whichSATAports

you connect. Forexample,ifyou wishtocreateRAIDwiththe harddisks on connectorsS_ATA0_SB

and S_ATA1_SB,assurethatthe Serial-ATA1isenabled (Serial-ATA2isforS_ATA2_SB and

S_ATA3_SB connectors)and SATA1Primary/SecondaryRAIDareenabled.

Figure1(ThisBIOSsetup screen iscaptured fromGA-K8NUltra-SLI, BIOSver.:F2a)

The BIOSSetup menusdescribed inthissection maynotshowthe exactsettingsforyour

motherboard.The actualBIOSSetup menu optionsyou will see shall depend on the motherboard

you haveand the BIOSversion.

(4)Making aSATAcontrollerdriverdisk

Toinstall Windows2000/XP ontoaSATAharddrive/RAIDarrayon the nVIDIAnForce4 Ultra/SLIcontroller

successfully,you need toinstall required driverforthe SATAcontrollerduring OSinstallation.Without

the driver,the harddrive/RAIDarraymaynotbe recognized during the Windowssetup process.

Firstofall,you need tocopythe driverforthe SATAcontrollerfromthe motherboarddriverCD toa

floppydisk.The instructionsbelowexplainhowtocopythe driver.

Step 1:Find an availablesystemand insertthe motherboarddriverCD intothe CD-ROMdrive.The

installation utilitywill appearautomatically.Quitthe installation utilityfirst.

Step 2:GotoMyComputerand right-click the CD-ROMdriveicon and selectOpen(Figure11).
