4.. Serial.ATA.connectors... . . . .
(7-pin.SATA1,.SATA2,.SATA3,.SATA4)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA
3Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward
compatible with Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s specification. The data transfer rate of the
Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra
DMA133).
If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 5, RAID 10, and JBOD configuration through the onboard controller.
Important.note.on.Serial.ATA
Install the Windows
® XP Service Pack 1 before using Serial ATA.
• For detailed instructions on how to configure RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and
RAID 10, and JBOD, refer to the RAID manual in the support CD.
• If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set
the.onboard.SATA.Type item in the BIOS to [RAID controller]. See the
page 2-16 for details.
