11. JMicron JMB363® Serial ATA RAID connector (7-pin SATA_
RAID)
This connector is for a Serial ATA signal cable. This connector
supports a Serial ATA hard disk drive that you can configure for RAID
through the onboard Serial ATA RAID controller.
The JMicron controller mode item in the BIOS is set to [AHCI] by default,
allowing you to use the connectors to build a RAID set. See section
“5.4.5 Onboard Device Configuration” for details.
Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure
that you have connected the Serial ATA signal cables and installed
Serial ATA hard disk drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the
JMicron® JMB363 RAID utility and SATA BIOS setup during POST.
