(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). In the example in Figure 1, make sure that Serial-ATAII 1 or Serial-ATAII 2 under the Integrated Periph- erals menu is enabled (Serial-ATAII1controls the SATAII0/1 connectors and Serial-ATAII2controls the SATAII2/3 connectors). If you wish to create RAID array, press ENTER on the SATAII RAID Config item to enter the submenu .
