BIOS Setup

3.2 Sil3112A SataRAID BIOS

The Sil3112A SataRAID BIOS utility is used to configure and

manage RAID on Serial ATA drives.

Important:

Before you run the Sil3112A SataRAID BIOS utility, make sure

“Onboard RAID Control” (“Onboard Device” section) in the Inte-

grated Peripherals submenu of the Award BIOS is set to “Ena-

bled”.

After you power up the system and all hard disk drives have

been detected, the Sil3112A SataRAID BIOS status message

screen will appear. Press the <Ctrl-S> or <F4> key to enter the

utility. The utility allows you to build a RAID system using two

Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives.

3.3 Selecting the First Boot Device During POST

The system board comes with a built-in program which you can

conveniently run during POST to select the device you want to

boot first; without having to enter the BIOS utility.

When you power-on the computer, press <Print Scrn> after the

memory test. The “Boot Menu” screen will appear. Select the de-

vice you want to boot first then press <Enter>. POST will then

continue with its test routines and boot up from the device you

have selected awhile ago.

Take note - the setting will not be stored in the CMOS RAM of

the firmware hub. The program is specially convenient when you

want to boot a device for certain purposes at that particular

time. The next time you boot up the computer and skip the

“Boot Menu” program, the system will boot according to the set-

tings in the BIOS.
