You may need a bios update with a 1 TB drive.

1. Bios update means flashing the motherboard bios to a newer version.
See your motherboard manual for how to do it. Download the correct files from the Intel site. The wrong file or a bad flash or power failure will make your motherboard useless.

2. Sorry, I can't tell you the limits of capacity of your motherboard.
