    Hardware Installation
    NOTE: This controller is not compatible with SAS targets
    1. Insert up to four mSATA devices into the card, taking care to match the 
    notch on the devices and the boards connectors. Insert at a 45 degree a\
    ngle 
    and press gently until the plastic retainers secure the device in place.\
    2. Power off the computer and install the card in a PCI Express slot that can 
    accept a 2X or larger card.
    3. Turn on the computer. At this point an AHCI-aware Operating system
    such as Linux, MacOS X or Windows Vista, 7, or 8 will immediately
    recognize the card as a generic AHCI controller and begin using it. NOTE: To 
    remove an mSATA device from the card, gently squeeze the two plastic 
    retainers toward each other while lifting the edge of the card away from\
     them.

        the “Found New Hardware Wizard.” Before proceeding, insert the\

    3. Respond to the question: “What do you want the wizard to do?” b\
    y keeping 
        the default setting “Install the software automatically [Recommen\
    ded].”
    4. Respond to the next step “Please select the best match for your ha\
    rdware 
        from the list below” by choosing the line that ends with 
        “\miniport\i386\mv91xx.inf.”
    5. Another wizard will appear next. Also choost “No, not this time” and “Install 
        the software automatically” to the next prompts, and during selec\
    tion, 
        choose the line ending with “\miniport\i386\mv91cons.inf.”

    2. Launch the application MSUSetup.exe.
    3. Read and accept the License Agreement.
    4. Respond to all remaining prompts by clicking Next.

    Setting Up Hardware RAID
    This adapters hardware RAID capabilities may be configured using either\
     
    the BIOS utility or the Marvell Storage Utility. There is no functional 
    difference, other than the BIOS utility can prepare an array without an 
    operating system (which may then be installed onto the array) and the \
    Marvell Storage Utility has the convenience of a Graphical User Interfac\
    e.
    This adapter supports RAID 0 (2, 3 or 4 devices), RAID 1 (2 devices)\
    , or 
    RAID 10 (4 devices).
    Starting the Marvell Storage Utility
    The first time this program is started, it will launch your default web \
    browser, 
    which should immediately show a security warning. This is due to the secure 
    connection to the Controller subsystem using a “self-signed certifica\
    te” 
    (cookie). Allow your browser to add this certificate as an exception to 
    proceed.
    Logging onto the Storage Utility uses the same credentials you use for 
    Windows. Your current Windows username should appear. Enter your
    Windows password and click Login. If this doesnt work, try deleting the\
     
    password (leaving that box blank) then click Login.
    To set up an array, click on the Adapter listed under Device. On the right side 
    is the Operation tab – move the mouse to that tab to find the Create \
    RAID 
    function. For more information on using the Marvell Storage Utility or t\
    he 
    RAID BIOS, click on the small blue circle containing a question mark in \
    the 
    upper-right corner of the Utility, then select User Guide.
