along with a blank hard disk, or two new hard disks.

1. Install the first and second hard disk into the hard disk bays of your system.

Connect each hard disk drive with a separate UltraDMA/100 cable, one
to the Promise IDE1 connector, and the other to the Promise IDE2
connector onboard the A7V333. NOTE: Do not connect any other types
of IDE devices to the Promise IDE connectors; they support hard disk
drive devices only.

2. Connect the power cables to the hard disks.

3. Make sure the RAID_EN jumper is reset to [1-2] and, if available, ensure

the BIOS settings in the Advanced PCI Configuration sub-menu are set
to enable RAID arrays: “SCSI/ATA100 Boot Sequence” field should be
set to [ATA100/SCSI] and the “Load Onboard ATA BIOS” field should be
set to [Auto].

4. Boot-up the PC.
