Important: Before you run the Sil3114 SataRAID BIOS utility, make sure “Sil3114 S-ATA Control” in the Genie BIOS Setting submenu of the Award BIOS is configured properly. After you power up the system and all hard disk drives have been detected, the Sil3114 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 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 device 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 settings in the BIOS. |
