4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-6)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives.
5. Optical drive audio connector (4-pin CD)
These connectors allow you to receive stereo audio input from sound sources such as
a CD-ROM, TV tuner, or MPEG card.
• Install the Windows ® XP Service Pack 2 or later version before using Serial ATA.
• The motherboard does not provide a floppy disk drive connector. You could use a USB
floppy disk drive when installing Windows ® XP operating system on a hard disk drive
that includes a RAID/AHCI set.
• Due to Windows ® XP limitation, Windows ® XP may not recognize the USB floppy disk
drive.
• For more details on RAID/AHCI, refer to the RAID/AHCI supplementary guide included
in the folder named Manual in the support DVD.
