Hardware Installation
For Low profile systems, install the spare low
profile bracket now.
General instructions for installing the card are
provided below. Since the design of computer
cases and motherboards vary, refer to your
computer's reference manual for further
information, if needed.
Static Electricity Discharge may permanently
damage your system. Discharge any static
electricity build up in your body by touching your
computer case for a few seconds. Avoid any
contact with internal parts and handle cards
only by their external edges.
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 cover.
4. Remove the slot bracket cover from an
available PCI Express slot.
5
5. 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 holding screw to
secure the card.
Device Connection
The DP SATA 6Gb/s 4-Port Hybrid PCIe supports
up to four Serial ATA hard disk drives. You will
need to purchase additional SATA data cable(s)
if a third or forth channel is going to be used.
1. Install your hard disk drive(s) in the chassis.
2. Connect the Serial ATA hard disk drive to
the system power supply.
Note: For hard drives with both SATA
power connector and legacy 4-pin
connector, use either the SATA power
connector or the legacy 4-pin power
connector. Using both power connectors
may damage the hard drive.
6
3. Connect one end of the Serial ATA cable to
the hard disk drive.

4. Attach the other end of the Serial ATA data
cable to the Serial ATA connector on the DP
SATA 6Gb/s 4-Port Hybrid PCIe.
5. Follow the same instructions to connect the
second hard drive, if needed. Device
connection is now complete.
RAID Arrays
This controller can be configure for hardware
RAID 0, 1 and 10, if needed. If you don't need
RAID 0, 1 or 10, please proceed to Driver
Installation on page 13. RAID Arrays are setup
in the DP SATA 6Gb/s 4-Port Hybrid PCIe BIOS.
7
RAID 0 (Striping)
This RAID array to be used on New/Blank hard
drives. Striping will destroy data on the hard
drive. A minimum of 2 drives are needed to
configure this array.
1. As the BIOS boots, press Ctrl+M when
prompted to enter the RAID BIOS.
2. At the next screen select HBA 0: Marvell
0, press Enter. Select Configuration
Wizard, then press Enter.
3. Use the Up or Down arrow key to choose a
hard drive. Press the Spacebar to select the
hard drive. Perform the same procedure
with the other hard drive(s), you want to
add to the array. When you are finished
selecting the hard drives, press Enter.
4. Select RAID Level or HyperDuo, press
Enter. Select RAID 0, then press Enter.
Note: You can rename the VD Name. This
is optional.
5. Select Next, press Enter. When asked Do
