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 controlle r 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.
