Hardware installation

Q1: The rail on the ATA RAID controller doesn't fit in the case. Use a screwdriver to remove the black end rail. It aligns and secures the ATA RAID controller in the computer chassis but is not critical for operation.

Q2: The system doesn’t begin booting (no BIOS runs) when the ATA RAID controller is installed but boots OK when the con- troller is removed.

Check the cabling between the drives and the ATA RAID controller. A cable plugged in upside down can prevent your system from run- ning its BIOS.
