Hardware Installation
General instructions for installing the card are provided
below. Since the design of computer cases and
motherboards vary, refer to your computer’s reference
manual for further information, if needed.
Static Electricity Discharge may permanently damage
your system. Discharge any static electricity build up in
your body by touching your computer’s case for a few
seconds. Avoid any contact with internal parts and
handle cards only by their external edges.
1. Turn OFF the power to your computer and any
other connected peripheral devices.
2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the
computer.
3. Remove your computer cover.
4. Remove the slot bracket from an available PCI slot.

connector with the selected PCI slot on the
motherboard. Push the board down firmly, but
gently, until it is well seated.
6. Replace the slot bracket holding screw to secure the
card.
7. Now go to Device Connection to connect your
Serial ATA hard disk drives.

ResolvingConflicts
When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the
disk includes drive connection information. If, after a
disk failure, the replacement disk was previously part of
a RAID set (or used in another system), it may have
conflicting metadata. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set
from being either created or rebuilt, in order for the RAID
set to function properly, this old metadata must be first
overwrittenwiththenewmetadata. Toresolvethis, from
the main BIOS window select Resolve Conflicts, then
press Enter, the correct metadata, including the correct
drive connection information, will be written to the
replacement disk.
