New Windows 2000/XP Installation
1 Start the installation:
Boot from the CD-ROM. Press F6 when the message “Press F6 key if you
need to install third party SCSI or RAID driver” appears.
2 When the Windows 2000/XP Setup window is generated, press S key to
specify an Additional Device(s).
3 Insert the driver diskette into drive A: and press Enter.
4 Choose one of the following items:
“Windows 32bit SiS Raid/IDE Controller”,
“Windows 64bit SiS Raid/IDE Controller”,
that appears on screen, and then press the Enter key.
5 Press Enter to continue with installation or if you need to specify any addi-
tional devices to be installed, do so at this time. Once all devices are speci-
fied, Press Enter to continue with installation.
6 From the Windows 2000/XP Setup screen, press the Enter key. Setup will
now load all device files and then continue the Windows 2000/XP instal-
lation.
7 Please install the driver package again (ex. SiS RAID driver v2.01) while the
operation system has been setup.
4 RAID 0+1: Also known as “Stripe-Mirror”. At least four hard drives are re-
quired. RAID 0+1 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1. Data is striped into
two drives then mirrored. It provides high performance and high data protec-
tion. This is a costly solution as RAID 1 because the two mirrored drives
represent an expensive insurance.
5 JBOD: (Just a Bunch of Drives). Also known as “Spanning”. Two or more hard
drives are required. Several hard disk types configured as a single hard disk.
The hard drives are simply hooked up in series. This expands the capacity of
your drive and results in a useable total capacity. However, JBOD will not
increase any performance or data security.
Existing Windows 2000/XP/98/Me Installation
1 Install the driver by executing SiS driver setup utility.
2 The drivers will be automatically installed.
Confirming Windows 2000/XP Driver Installation
1 From Windows 2000/XP, open the Control Panel from “My Computer” followed
by the System icon.
2 Choose the “Hardware” tab, then click the “Device Manager” tab.
3 Click the “+” in front of “SCSI and RAID Controllers” hardware type. The driver
“SiS182 Raid Controller” should appear.
If you would like to install windows to any RAID set, you should create
RAID from BIOS utility or SiS965/SiS965L RAID Utility first and then
follow the steps above.
