5.4.1Installing the Hard Disks

The RAID 0 setting allows users to reformat two hard disks with the same new OS simultaneously. RAID 1 arrays can use a pre-existing hard disk 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 Primary ATA-100 IDE connector, and the other to the Secondary ATA-100 IDE connector onboard the A7V133.

2.Ensure that Jumpers 13 and 14 are set for RAID 0 or 1: Jumper 13: [1-2] and

Jumper 14; [2-3] (See Section 3.4.5, Hardware Setup: Motherboard Settings)

3.Connect the power cables to the hard disks.
