![]() ![]() I re-formatted the drives (erasing the installed OS), I un-formatted drives, I tried the default BIOS settings for the DG41, I tried all possible combinations of pressing F4 and/or Ctrl+S at boot-up. I updated both the motherbaord bios and the raid controller card bios to the latest available versions. The boot process continues normally to windows. But nothing happens when I press F4 or Ctrl+S. Now, when the system boots, I get the " Press or F4 to enter RAID Utility" prompt immediately on boot-up (before the Intel screen appears) and it also lists the two 500GB drives connected to the card. Then, after some research I found that I have to enable the "EXPANSION CARD TEXT" option in the BIOS SECURITY MENU to display the add-on card text. But I want to install CentOS and want to be able to configure the RAID independently of the OS.īoth Syba & Silicon Image say that I should be prompted to press CTRL+S or F4 during boot to access the BIOS RAID Utility. However I am unable to access the BIOS RAID Configuration Utility.īoth drives are recognised properly and I was able to install XP with the drivers provided and then configure the RAID from within XP using their software. Two 500GB Seagate SATA HDDs are connected to the card and I want to set them up in a RAID-1 array. Please help or post them.I've the DG41RQ motherboard and installed a Syba SATA RAID PCI-E controller card (SiI3132 chipset). I am desperately looking for files from links to upgrade controller BIOS: Ofcourse each chip have relevant driver witch may be added to Recommended AHCI/RAID and NVMe DriversĪll above links are dead and files not present on lattice semiconductors archive page (only older versions are in archive). Just need to pick up proper product from Silicon site: and download/add to site. SiI3531 - PCI Express (1x) to 1 Port SATA300 → SiI 3531 SATARaid SiI 3531 SATALinkįor each chip there are also older BINs than in those links. SiI3512 - PCI to 2 Port SATA150 → SiI 3512A SATARaid SiI 3512A SATALink SiI3132 - PCI Express (1x) to 2 Port SATA300 → SiI 3132 SATARaid SiI 3132 SATALink SiI3112 - PCI to 2 Port SATA150 → SiI 3112A SATARaid SiI 3112A SATALink SiI3124 - PCI/PCI-X to 4 Port SATA300 → SiI 3124 SATARaid SiI 3124 SATALink SiI3114 - PCI to 4 Port SATA150 → SiI 3114 SATARaid SiI 3114 SATALink Silicon Image does provide newer BINs for some controllers: I do not know if all and in what motherboards those chips were used but BINs for motherboards are available As an example is Asus P5AD2-E Premium board with “SiI 3114 SATARaid SiI 3114 SATALink BIOS Version 5.0.39” in the most up to date BIOS …um/1006-006.zip There are motherboards that use Silicon Image SATA/RAID chips. This may be quite old stuff but maybe it is worth to mention about it ![]()
