Hardware Installation
1. Turn Off the power to your computer and any other connected
peripheral devices.
2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the computer.
3. Remove your computer’s cover.
4. Remove the slot bracket from an available PCI Express slot.
5. To install the card, carefully align the card’s bus connector with
the selected PCI Express slot on the motherboard. Push the
board down firmly, but gently, until it is well seated.
6. Replace the slot bracket’s holding screw to secure the card.
Device Connection
Serial ATA hard drives should come with their own accessories.
In most cases, you just need to power up the device and connect
them to the ports. The SiI 3132 SATAII PCIe RAID adapter is two
channel Serial ATA controller that supports two Serial ATA hard
disk drives. It is recommended to use identical drives for all RAID
configurations. However, it’s possible to combine hard drives of
different sizes and makes.
5
RAID Arrays
RAID Arrays are setup in the SiI 3132 SATA PCIe RAID adapter’s
BIOS.
RAID 0 (Striping)
This RAID array to be used on New/Blank hard drives. Striping
will destroy existing data on the hard drive. Auto Configuration
is recommended. For applications that require custom chunk size,
Manual Configuration is offered.
Auto configuration (recommended)
The default chunk size is 64k when selecting Auto
configuration.
1.As the BIOS boots press Ctrl+S or F4 when prompted to enter
the RAID BIOS.
2.At the next screen select Create RAID Set, then press Enter.
3.Select RAID0, then press Enter.
4.Select Auto configuration, then press Enter.
5.Input the RAID size, press Enter.
6.When asked Are You Sure (Y/N)?, press Y to accept.
7.Press Ctrl+E to exit the BIOS.
6
8.When asked Are you sure to exit (Y/N)?, press Y to exit and
reboot.
9.Continue with FDISK and FORMAT steps as if you were
installing a conventional hard drive.
Manual configuration
1.As the BIOS boots press Ctrl+S or F4 when prompted to enter
the RAID BIOS.
2.At the next screen select Create RAID Set, then press Enter.
3.Select RAID0, then press Enter.
4.Select Manual configuration then press Enter.
5.Select chunk size from 8k, 16k, 32k, 64k or 128k, then press
Enter.
6.Select the first drive, press Enter.
7.Select the second drive, press Enter.
8.Input the RAID size, press Enter.
9.When asked Are You Sure(Y/N)?, press Y to accept.
10. Press Ctrl+E to exit the BIOS.
11. When asked Are you sure to exit(Y/N)?, press Y to exit
and reboot.
12. Continue with FDISK and FORMAT steps as if you were
installing a conventional hard drive.

RAID 1 (Mirror)
For New/Blank Hard Drives
1.As the BIOS boots press Ctrl+S or F4 when prompted to enter
the RAID BIOS.
2.At the next screen select Create RAID Set, then press Enter.
3.At the next screen select RAID1 then press Enter.
4.Select Auto configuration, then press Enter.
5.Input the RAID size, press Enter.
6.When asked Are You Sure(Y/N)?, press Y to accept.
7.Press Ctrl+E to exit the BIOS.
8.When asked Are you sure to exit(Y/N)?, press Y to exit and
reboot.
9.Continue with FDISK and FORMAT steps as if you were
installing a conventional hard drive.
For Existing Hard Drives with Data
1.As the BIOS boots press Ctrl+S or F4 when prompted to enter
the RAID BIOS.
2.At the next screen select Create RAID Set, then press Enter.
3.At the next screen select RAID1 then press Enter.
4.Select Manual configuration, then press Enter.
5.Select the Source drive, press Enter.
8
6.Select the Target drive, press Enter.
7.Select Create with data copy, then press Enter.
8.Select online copy, then press Enter.
Note: Selcting Online Copy builds the mirror while in Windows.
Selecting Offline Copy builds the mirror before exiting the RAID
BIOS.
9.Input the RAID size, press Enter.
10. Press Ctrl+E to exit the BIOS.
11. When asked Are you sure to exit(Y/N)?, press Y to exit
and reboot.
CONCATENATION (JBOD)
This RAID array allows you to use one or two hard drives to a
JBOD(Just a Bunch Of Disks) array. Although JBOD doesn’t offer
other RAID functionality, it makes the hard disks appear to be a
single one by combining the drives into one larger logical one
without any capacity loss.
Rebuilding a Failed Mirror Set
When a failure to one member occurs, you will be notified by the
RAID BIOS during boot. The steps below will guide you in
rebuilding a failed mirror set.
9
1.Replace he failed drive(s) with one of equal or greater capacity,
then start the computer.
2.During boot press Ctrl+S or F4 to enter the RAID BIOS.
3.Select Create RAID Set press Enter.
4.Select SPARE DRIVE, then press Enter.
5.Select the single hard drive then press Enter.
6.Input RAID size, press Enter. When asked Are You
Sure(Y/N)?, Press Y to confirm.
7.Select Rebuild Raid 1 Set, press Enter.
8.When asked Are you sure(Y/N)?, press Y confirm. The mirror
will begin rebuilding. Do not interface with processs.
9.When rebuilding is finished, press Ctrl+E.
10. When asked Are you sure to exit(Y/N)?, press Y to exit
and reboot.
Deleting RAID Arrays
1.As the BIOS boots press Ctrl+S or F4 when prompted to enter
the RAID BIOS.
2.Select Delete RAID Set, then press Enter.
3.Select the RAID set then press Enter.
4.When asked Are You Sure(Y/N)?, press Y to confirm.

Resolving Conflicts
When a RAID set is created, then metadata written to the disk
includes drive connection information. If, after a disk failure, the
replacement disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used in
another system), it may have conflicting metadata. If so, this will
prohibit the RAID set from being either created or rebuilt, in order
for the RAID set to function properly, this old metadata must be
first overwritten with the new metadata. To resolve this, from the
main BIOS window select Resolve Conflicts, then press Enter,
the correct metadata, including the correct drive connection
information, will be written to the replacement disk.
Low Level Format
Low Level Format is build into the RAID BIOS to make it more
convenient to erase the entire contents of a hard disk drive,
including data, drive and partition information. The Low Level
Format utility works on single hard drive only, before the RAID
set is configured.
Logical Drive Info
This menu item allows the display of the assignment of physical
drives within a logical set(RAID0, RAID1, etc.). This is display
