Confirm the Hard Drive List

The system is designed to allow booting from a variety of internal devices, including USB pen drive, SATA
drive, and SAS drive, etc. Given the tiny footprint and slow performance of USB pen drive, SAS/SATA drive and
SATADOM are more likely the targets to carry operating system and can be found in the detected drive list, in
the section of SATA/SAS Configuration.

In the event that a particular SATA/SAS/SATADOM device is not detected and prompted in the device list,
hardly would the system boot from any of them. Please turn off the system, check or re-apply the SATA cable
and SATA power cable to ensure an appropriate connection.

In case the system comes with a RAID card onto which your SAS/SATA drives are attached, these hard drives
will not be detected by Intel® C602 PCH and certainly not present in the system BIOS drive list. Instead, the
drive detection job is completed at RAID controller. Please manage to find them in the configuration menu of
the RAID controller.

Always Mind the SATA Mode

SATA controller is embedded in the Intel® C602 chipset, and shall run only in one single SATA mode at a time.
Three different modes are available: IDE, AHCI, and RAID. Please ensure that a SATA mode has been selected
for the installation, and always use this particular mode to boot the operating system installed on that SATA
mode. Failed to boot the operating system with the correct SATA mode would very probably run into system
collapse. While thus disaster occurs, please re-select a SATA mode to try again the advisability of such change,
so as to recollect the mode being used at the installation phase.

Procedures to load operating system:

(1)

Please attach USB CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

(2)

Start or restart the system.

(3)

Press “del” to go to BIOS setup menu.

(4)

Choose to confirm SATA Controller status. If it is enabled, select a SATA mode and go to (6).

(5)

If SATA Controller is disabled, bring it up and reboot to allow a re-detection of Hard Drives.

(6)

Confirm if the Hard Drive has been detected by the prompt of it on the drive list.

(7)

Scroll and choose to boot from optical device (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM).

(8)

Save and reboot the system to activate the change and start the installation.

(9)

Upon reception of messages or instruction from Operating System CD or DVD, please proceed with the rest of
the work as installer instructs.

Loading Extra Driver Files

Some challenges might occur during the installation, as if the issue of no Hard Drive detected, where extra
driver files are needed. This is mostly found, when AHCI or RAID mode is selected if attached to onboard
SATA/SAS ports, or an extra RAID card is deployed to manage hard drives. Please follow the instruction from
operating system to load proper driver files to complete the installation.

On completion of the installation of operating system such as Microsoft Windows, please find the driver CD in
the enclosed accessory bag and proceed with driver files installation in the sequence as: INF (Chipset), VGA,
and LAN. If some driver updates are available by Windows Update, please accept the updates when prompted.
