(Note 1) If your cell phone has been configured as the Auto Green key, you'll not be able to use it to connect to other Blu- etooth device(s) when Auto Green is enabled. (Note 2) Whether the Bluetooth dongle is included depends on the motherboard models. Before installing the Bluetooth dongle, be sure to turn off other Bluetooth receiver on your computer. - 65 - Appendix Chapter 5 Appendix 5-1 Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) To configure SATA hard drive(s), follow the steps below: A. Install SATA hard drive(s) in your computer. B. Configure SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup. C. Configuring RAID set in RAID BIOS. (Note) D. Make a floppy disk containing the SATA RAID driver for Windows XP. (Note) E. Install the SATA RAID driver (Note) and operating system. Before you begin Please prepare: • At least two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID, you may prepare only one hard drive. • An empty formatted floppy disk. • Windows Vista/XP setup disk. • Motherboard driver disk. 5-1-1 Configuring the Onboard SATA Controller A. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your computer Attach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available SATA port on the motherboard. Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive. (Note) Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID array on the SATA controller. Appendix - 66 - B. Configuring SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup Make sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup. Step 1: Turn on your computer and press to enter BIOS Setup during the POST (Power-On Self-Test). Under Integrated Peripherals, make sure NV SATA Controller is enabled. To enable RAID, go to the Serial- ATA RAID Config (Figure 1). CMOS Setup Utility-Copyright (C) 1984-2010 Award Software Integrated Peripherals Item Help Menu Level .

The BIOS Setup menus described in this section may differ from 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. C. Configuring RAID set in RAID BIOS Enter the RAID BIOS setup utility to configure a RAID array. For a non-RAID configuration, please skip this step and proceed to the installation of Windows operating system. Step 1: After the POST memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins, look for a message which says "Press to enter RAID setup utility" (Figure 3). Hit the key to enter the NVIDIA RAID setup utility. MediaShield ROM BIOS 6.94 Copyright (C) 2006 NVIDIA Corp. Detecting array ... Press F10 to enter RAID setup utility ... Figure 3 Step 2: The Define a New Array screen is the first option screen when you enter the NVIDIA RAID setup utility (Figure 4). You can press the key to move from field to field until the appropriate field is highlighted. Step 3: In the RAID Mode field, use the up or down arrow key to select a RAID mode. The supported RAID modes include Mirroring, Striping, Stripe Mirroring, RAID 5, and Spanning. The following procedure demonstrates how a RAID 0 array (Striping) is created. Step 4: If RAID 0 (Striping) is selected, you can manually set the stripe block size. In the Striping Block field, use the up or down arrow key to set the striping block size. Striping block size is given in kilobytes. We recommend you leaving it at the default Optimal, which is 64 KB. The striping block size can be set from 4 KB to 128 KB.
