Drive Xpert Mode Update [Last Setting]

Set this item to [Mode Change] to show further settings of the Drive Xpert function.

Configuration options: [Last Setting] [Mode Change]

The following items appear only when you set Drive Xpert Mode Update to [Mode

Change].

Before using the Drive Xpert function, ensure that you have back up all your data in your

hard disks.

EZ Backup erases all original data/partition in the hard disk connected to the

SATA_E2 (white, port 1) connector on the motherboard.

Super Speed erases all original data/partition in both hard disks.

Update To Super Speed [Press Enter]

This item allows you to use Super Speed function. Plug two identical SATA hard

drives in the SATA_E1 (orange, port 0) and SATA_E2 (white, port 1) connectors on the

motherboard and press the key.
Update To EZ Backup [Press Enter]

This item allows you to use EZ Backup function. Plug two identical SATA hard drives

in the SATA_E1 (orange, port 0) and SATA_E2 (white, port 1) connectors on the

motherboard and press the key.
Update To Normal Mode [Press Enter]

This item allows you to use the SATA_E1 (orange, port 0) and SATA_E2 (white, port 1)

connectors as normal SATA connectors.

When using one hard disk in Normal Mode, connect the hard disk to the SATA_E1

(orange, port 0) connector on the motherboard.

Use the Drive Xpert utility to see both the status of the hard disks connected to

the SATA_E1 (orange, port 0) and SATA_E2 (white, port 1) connectors on the

motherboard. In the BIOS Main menu and the Device Manager in OS, only the hard

disk connected to the SATA_E1 connector (orange, port 0) can be detected.

Clear all previous partitions in the hard disks before you proceed with any mode

changes.
