Hardware Installation

General instructions for installing the card are provided

below. Since the design of computer cases and

motherboards vary, refer to your computer’s reference

manual for further information, if needed.

Static Electricity Discharge may permanently damage

your system. Discharge any static electricity build up in

your body by touching your computer case for a few

seconds. Avoid any contact with internal parts and

handle cards only by their external edges.

1. Turn OFF the power to your computer and any

other connected peripheral devices.

2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the

computer.

3. Remove your computer cover.

4. RemovetheslotbracketcoverfromanavailablePCI

Express slot.

5. To install the card, carefully align the card's bus

connector with the selected PCI Express slot on the

motherboard. Push the board down firmly, but

gently, until it is well seated.

6. Replace the slot bracket holding screw to secure the

card.

7. Now go to Device Connection to connect your

Serial ATA hard disk drives.

DeviceConnection

The SATA II PCIe RAID is a two channel Serial ATA

controllerthatsupportstwoSerialATAharddiskdrives.

It is recommended to use identical hard drives for all

RAID configurations, however, it's possible to combine

hard drives of different sizes and makes.

1. Install your hard disk drive(s) in the chassis.

2. ConnecttheSerialATAharddiskdrivetothesystem

power supply using the included Dual Connector

Serial ATA power cable.

Note: For hard drives with both SATA power

connectorandlegacy5-pinconnector,useeitherthe

SATA power connector or the legacy 5-pin power

connector. Using both power connectors may

damage the hard drive.

3. Connect one end of the Serial ATA cable to the hard

disk drive.

4. AttachtheotherendoftheSerialATAdatacabletothe

Serial ATA connector on the SATA II PCIe RAID.

5. Follow the same instructions to connect the second

hard drive. Device connection is now complete.

Note: If it is your desire to monitor disk activity of

the Serial ATA hard drives, you may at this time

connect the hard disk LED of the system case to the

Hard Disk LED Pins on the Serial ATA controller.

6. Replace the computer cover and reconnect the

power cord. Go to RAID Arrays to configure the

RAIDBIOS.

RAID Arrays

RAID Arrays are setup in the SATA II PCIe RAID BIOS.

Find your RAID set from the table of contents.

RAID 0 (Striping)

This RAID array to be used on New/Blank hard drives.

Striping will destroy existing data on the hard drive.

Auto Configuration is recommended. For applications

that require custom chunk size, Manual Configuration

is offered.

Auto Configuration (recommended)

The default chunk size is 64k when selecting Auto

configuration.

1. AstheBIOSbootspressCtrl+SorF4whenprompted

to enter the RAID BIOS.

2. At the next screen select Create RAID Set, then

press Enter.

3. Select RAID0, then press Enter.

4. Select Auto configuration, then press Enter.

5. Input the RAID size, press Enter.

6. WhenaskedAreYouSure(Y/N)?,pressYtoaccept.

7. Press Ctrl+E to exit the BIOS.

8. When asked Are you sure to exit (Y/N)?, press Yto

exit and reboot.

9. Continue with Fdisk and Format steps as if you

were installing a conventional hard drive.

Manual Configuration

1. AstheBIOSbootspressCtrl+SorF4whenprompted

to enter the RAID BIOS.

2. At the next screen select Create RAID Set, then

press Enter.

3. Select RAID0, then press Enter.

4. Select Manual configuration then press Enter.

5. Select chunk size from 8k, 16k, 32k, 64k or 128k,

then press Enter.

6. Select the first drive, press Enter.

7. Select the second drive, press Enter.

8. Input the RAID size, press Enter.

RebuildingaFailedMirrorSet

Whenafailuretoonememberoccurs,youwillbenotified

either by the RAID BIOS during boot or by the SATA

Raid5 GUI while in Windows. The steps below will

guide you in rebuilding a failed mirror set.

For Offline Mirror Rebuild (SATA RAID BIOS)

1. Replacethe failed drivewith one ofequal or greater

capacity, then power on the computer.

2. During boot press Ctrl+S or F4 to enter the RAID

BIOS.

3. Select Create RAID Set press Enter.

8. When asked Are you sure (Y/N)?, press Yconfirm.

The mirror will begin rebuilding. Do not interfere

with the process.

9. When rebuilding is finished, press Ctrl+E.

10. When asked Are you sure to exit (Y/N)?, press Yto

exit and reboot.

For Online Mirror Rebuild (in Windows)

1. Replacethefaileddrivewithoneofequalorgreater

capacity, then power on the computer.

2. When Windows resumes, at the SATA SoftRaid 5

screen,clickLegacySupport,RebuildLegacyRAID

Group.

Note: If Legacy Support does not show, click File,

Configuration, AdvancedOptions. Check Legacy

(Bootable) Support, then click OK.

3. At Rebuild Legacy RAID Group box, hold down

the Ctrl key, select both hard drives, click Rebuild.

4. Click OK, then click Cancel to close the window.

5. Rebuild time may take several hours or more,

depending on the size of the mirror set.

DeletingRAIDArrays

1. AstheBIOSbootspressCtrl+SorF4whenprompted

to enter the RAID BIOS.

2. Select Delete RAID Set, then press Enter.

3. Select the RAID set then press Enter.

4. WhenaskedAreYouSure(Y/N)?,pressYtoconfirm.

ResolvingConflicts

When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the

disk includes drive connection information. If, after a

diskfailure, the replacement diskwas previouslypartof

a RAID set (or used in another system), it may have

conflictingmetadata. Ifso,thiswillprohibittheRAIDset

frombeingeithercreatedorrebuilt,inorderfortheRAID

set to function properly, this old metadata must be first

overwrittenwiththenewmetadata.Toresolvethis,from

the main BIOS window select Resolve Conflicts, then

press Enter, the correct metadata, including the correct

drive connection information, will be written to the

replacement disk.

LowLevelFormat

Low Level Format is built into the RAID BIOS to make it

more convenient to erase the entire contents of a hard

disk drive, including data, drive and partition

information. The Low Level Format utility works on

singleharddrivesonly,beforetheRAIDsetisconfigured.

LogicalDriveInfo

This menu item allows the display of the assignment of

physical drives within a logical set (RAID0, RAID1, etc.).

This is a display only function.
