These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA
hard disk drives.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 configuration with the Intel
® Matrix Storage
Technology through the onboard Intel ® ICH7R RAID controller. Refer to
Chapter 5 for details on how to set up Serial ATA RAID configurations.

• You must install Windows ® 2000 Service Pack 4 or the Windows ® XP
Service Pack 1 before using Serial ATA hard disk drives. The Serial
ATA RAID feature (RAID 0/RAID 1/RAID 5/RAID 10) is available only
if you are using Windows
® 2000/XP/Server 2003 or later version.

primary (boot) hard disk drive to the SATA1 or SATA2 connector.
Refer to the table on the next page for the recommended SATA hard
disk drive connections.
• These connectors are set to S t a n d a r d I D E S t a n d a r d I D E S t a n d a r d I D E S t a n d a r d I D E S t a n d a r d I D E mode by default. In

item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section “4.3.6 IDE Configuration” on
page 4-16 for details.
• For RAID 5, use at least three hard disk drives. For RAID 10, use at
least four hard disk drives. Use two to four Serial ATA hard disk
drives for each RAID 0 or RAID 1 set.
