New HD connecting to RC-214 must process “initial (F-disk)” and “format” before using. Otherwise, PC might find nothing in the system.

If you want to boot from correct HD connecting to either motherboard or RC-214, please change   

correct HD source from CMOS “booting sequence”.

Although SATA HD is a “hot swap” design, it is strongly recommended that all users turn off the power before you add any HD to PC.

If you want to add RC-214 to an existing OS (In this case, PC is booting up by an existing HD connecting to motherboard. This situation will allow you 

adding new additional storage HD to your original system), install RC-214 into a PCI slot. Boot up the system and enter the OS. Install RC-214 with 

driver disk coming in the box. After RC-214 is installed correctly, you can add more HD to RC-214 to increase storage HD.
