4.3.11 ASUS Drive Xpert

Drive Xpert, an ASUS exclusive technology, secures the data on your hard

disk and enhances hard drive performance without the hassles of complicated

congurations. With its user-friendly graphical user interface, you can easily

arrange hard drive backups or enhance the hard drive’s transfer rate.

Installing Serial ATA hard disks

For using Drive Xpert in Windows

operating system, we recommend that you

prepare three hard disks: one hard disk with operating system already installed,

and two hard disks for Drive Xpert conguration.

To install Serial ATA hard disks for Drive Xpert conguration

1. Install two SATA hard disks into the drive bays.

2. Plug one end of the SATA signal cables to each drive, and plug the other end

of the SATA signal cables to the SATA_E1 (orange, port 0) and SATA_E2

(white, port 1) connectors on the motherboard. Refer to page 2-30 for the

exact location of the SATA connectors.

3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector of each drive.

• For optimal performance, we highly recommend that you install identical

drives of the same model and capacity.

the motherboard do not support ATAPI devices and hot-plug function.
