The images below show some typical serial ATA data cables with which you may be working. Both connectors on the drive are 'keyed', which means the cables will only slide on one way. There are no adjustments to be made to the jumper block. An adapter for the power connector is provided in your disk drive kit, as well as a data cable. The middle, smaller connector is the data connector for the serial ATA data cable, and the jumper pins on the right are for factory use only. The largest connector on the edge of the drive is the power connector. The image below shows typical connector examples for a serial ATA drive. You will, of course, need to partition and format the drive, but this will also be done outside the BIOS environment. If the drive is plugged into a PCI card then check with the manufacturer of the PCI card. If the drive is plugged into the motherboard then the drivers are provided by the motherboard manufacturer.

If you install your serial ATA drive and it is not seen by the operating system then confirm you have loaded the latest driver for your host adapter. We recommend going to the serial ATA controller manufacturer's website for the latest drivers. If the SATA hard drive is not showing then click the Load Driver option. When performing a new installation from DVD of Windows 10/8.1/8/7 or Vista, a box will prompt “Where do you want to install Windows?”. At this time put your disc with the driver in the CD-ROM / DVD drive and load the driver. The system continues to load and then will stop and ask for the mass storage device driver. The SATA drivers for Windows 2000 and Windows XP are loaded during the install of the operating system by hitting the F6 button when prompted.

See Document ID: 184911 for information on loading the SATA drivers and installing the SATA drive in Windows.

If you are replacing your boot drive, you may have to change the 'boot order' in the BIOS to boot from the serial ATA controller (sometimes represented in the boot order as the drive model number and sometimes as SCSI). Most of the new motherboards which incorporate serial ATA connectors do not provide options for adjustment in the BIOS, so you should not have to change anything in the BIOS if you are adding a drive. Installing a serial ATA drive on your system should be simple and almost transparent.
