Step 3: Press under the Select Disks item. In the SELECT DISKS box, press on the hard drive you want to use for the master drive and press on the hard drive you want to use for the recovery drive.
(Make sure the recovery drive has equal or larger capacity than the master drive.) Then press. Delete RAID Volume To delete a RAID array, select Delete RAID Volume in MAIN MENU and press. In the DELETE VOLUME MENU section, use the up or down arrow key to select the array to be deleted and press. When prompted to confirm your selection (Figure 12), press to confirm or to abort. 5-1-2 Configuring Marvell 88SE9128 SATA Controllers A. 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 avail- able SATA port on the motherboard.
One of the Marvell 88SE9128 SATA controllers controls the onboard GSATA36/7 connector and the other controls the eSATA ports on the back panel. Configuring a RAID array Create a RAID Array: Move the selection bar to HBA 0: Marvell 0 and press. Marvell BIOS Setup (c) 2009 Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Topology Information Vendor ID 1B4B HBA 0: Marvell 0 Device ID 91A3 Virtual Disks. Stripe Size: Select the stripe block size.
Options include 32 KB and 64 KB. Gigabyte Rounding: Select whether to permit the installation of a replacement drive that is smaller than the failed drive when performing a RAID 1 rebuild.
Options include None, 1G, and 10G. When completed, you can see the new array under Topology Virtual Disks (Figure 6). Marvell BIOS Setup (c) 2009 Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
Topology Information Vendor ID 1B4B HBA 0: Marvell 0 Device ID 91A3 Virtual Disks Revision ID VD 0: NewVD BIOS Version 0.0.0.0000 PD 0: WDC WD800JD-22L. Now, you may proceed to the installation of the SATA driver and operating system. Delete the RAID Array: To deleted the existing array, select the array on the main menu (example: VD 0: NewVD) and press to display the Delete option. When prompted, press to confirm or to cancel (Figure 8). Marvell BIOS Setup (c) 2009 Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 5-1-3 Installing the SATA RAID/AHCI Driver and Operating System With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install Windows 7/Vista/XP onto your hard drive(s). Installing Windows XP To install Windows XP, you need to install the SATA RAID/AHCI controller driver during the OS installation.
Without the driver, the hard drive(s) may not be recognized during the Windows setup process. For the Marvell 88SE9128: Insert the floppy disk containing the SATA AHCI driver and press. The screen will display two driv- ers, both of which need to be installed (Figure 2). First select Marvell shared library (install first) and press. On the next screen, press to return to the screen in Figure 2. Then select Marvell 91xx SATA Controller 32bit Driver and press. When both of the two drivers appear on the confirmation screen, press.
Rebuilding an Array Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 arrays. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. Performing the Rebuild in the Operating System While in the operating system, make sure the chipset driver has been installed from the motherboard driver disk.
Then launch the Intel Rapid Storage Technology utility from All Programs in the Start menu. Step 2: Select a new drive to rebuild the RAID and click Rebuild. Restoring the Master Drive to a Previous State (for Recovery Volume only) When two hard drives are set to Recovery Volume in Update on Request mode, you can restore the master drive data to the last backup state when needed. For example, in case the master drive detects a virus, you can restore the recovery drive data to the master drive. For the Marvell 88SE9128: Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Please note to perform the rebuild, you must enter the GSATA3 RAID Configuration/eSATA3 RAID Configuration menu in BIOS Setup.
Step 1: After the system starts, enter the BIOS Setup program and go to Integrated Peripherals. Press on GSATA3 RAID Configuration/eSATA3 RAID Configuration to access the RAID configuration menu. Move the selection bar to the array to be rebuilt (for example, VD 0: NewVD) and press. Step 3: The BGA Rebuild item in the Information block will display the current rebuild progress. After the rebuild is complete, the Status will display as Functional. Please note the rebuild will be stopped if you exit the RAID BIOS screen before the rebuild is complete.

Step 3: On the Speakers screen, click the Speaker Configura- tion tab. 5-2-2 Configuring S/PDIF Out The S/PDIF Out jacks can transmit audio signals to an external decoder for decoding to get the best (Note 1) audio quality. Connecting a S/PDIF Out Cable: S/PDIF Coaxial Cable S/PDIF Optical Cable Connect a S/PDIF coaxial cable or a S/PDIF optical cable (either one) to an external decoder for transmitting the S/PDIF digital audio signals. 5-2-3 Enabling the Dolby Home Theater Function Before Dolby Home Theater is enabled, you get only 2-channel playback output (from the front speakers) when playing 2-channel stereo sources.
You must play 4-, 5.1-, or 7.1- chan- nel content to get 4-, 5.1-, or 7.1- channel audio effects. With Dolby Home Theater enabled, 2-channel stereo content will be transformed into multi-channel audio, creating a virtual sur- round sound environment. 5-2-4 Configuring Microphone Recording Step 1: After installing the audio driver, the HD Audio Manager icon will appear in the notification area. Double-click the icon to access the HD Audio Manager.
Step 2: Connect your microphone to the Mic in jack (pink) on the back panel or the Mic in jack (pink) on the front panel. Then configure the jack for microphone function- ality. Step 5: After completing the settings above, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Sound Recorder to begin the sound recording. Enabling Stereo Mix If the HD Audio Manager does not display the recording device you wish to use, refer to the steps below. The following steps explain how to enable Stereo Mix (which may be needed when you want to record sound from your computer). Step 4: Now you can access the HD Audio Manager to config- ure Stereo Mix and use Sound Recorder to record the sound. 5-2-5 Using the Sound Recorder A.
Recording Sound 1. Make sure you have connected the sound input device (e.g.
Microphone) to the computer. New Hardware Wizard appears, click Cancel. Then install the onboard HD audio driver from the motherboard driver disk or download the audio driver from GIGABYTE's website to install. For more details, go to the Support & Downloads FAQ page on our website and search for 'onboard HD audio driver.' . 5-3-2 Troubleshooting Procedure If you encounter any troubles during system startup, follow the troubleshooting procedure below to solve the problem.
