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.
(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)/RAID array.
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, make sure that NV SATA RAID function under the Integrated Peripherals
menu is enabled (Figure 1). Also make sure that the NV Serial-ATA 1/Serial-ATA 2 are enabled
(including NV SATA 1 Primary/Secondary RAID/SATA 2 Primary/Secondary RAID), depending on
which SATA ports you connect. For example, if you wish to create RAID with the hard disks on
connectors S_ATA0 and S_ATA1, assure that the Serial-ATA 1 is enabled and SATA 1 Primary/
Secondary RAID are enabled. Serial-ATA 2 is for S_ATA2 and S_ATA3 connectors.
