GIGABYTE SATA2 Controller (1) Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your computer Attach one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive and the other end to available SATA port(s) on the motherboard. If there are more than one SATA controller on your motherboard, refer to the connectors introduction section of the user's manual to identify the SATA controller for the connectors. (For example, on the GA-N680SLI-DQ6 motherboard, the GSATAII0, GSATAII1, GSATAII2 and GSATAII3 connectors are supported by the GIGABYTE SATA2 controller.) Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive. (2) Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup Make sure to configure the SATA controller mode correctly in system BIOS Setup and set the first boot devce. Step 1: Turn on your computer and press Del to enter BIOS Setup during POST (Power-On Self Test). In BIOS Setup, go to Integrated Periperals, ensure that the Onboard SATA-II Ctrl1 or Onboard SATA-II Ctrl2 is enabled. Then set Onboard SATA-II Ctrl1 Mode or Onboard SATA-II Ctrl2 Mode to RAID before configuring RAID. If you do not want to create RAID, set this item to IDE or AHCI, depending on your need (Figure 1).
