4. 0 Installing the hard drives
Hard drives must be of the Fast ATA-2, EIDE, or UltraDMA-33/66/100 type if you want to use them with the RAID controller. For best performance, we recommend that you use drives of identical model and capacity. If you are planning to use an UDMA-66 or 100 drive, you must use an UltraDMA-66/100 cable (Tyan has included that cable with the motherboard). Step 1: The first step is to set the hard drive to Master, Slave, or Cable Select setting, and install them according to the table below. Note: Sometimes the Master drive with no Slave attached is called "single". The Master/Slave setting differentiates two drives connected on the same cable. NOTE: Check your HDD documentation for master, slave, and cable select settings.
Jumper Settings (see your HDD documentation for jumper settings) # of Drives 1 2 3 4 IDE Channel 1 M M M&S M&S M=Master, S=Slave IDE Channel 2 M M M&S
Step 2: Next, you should install the drives into your system, and connect the power. [. . . ] Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally. Striping: see RAID UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. Without proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives. This one port type can function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. [. . . ]
