ICH10R Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA 1-6)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives

and optical disc drives.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10

configuration with the Intel

®

Matrix Storage Technology through the onboard Intel

®

ICH10R RAID controller.

• These connectors are set to Standard IDE mode by default. In Standard IDE mode,

you can connect Serial ATA boot/data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you

intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the Configure

SATA as item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section 3.4.2 Storage Configuration for

details.

Before creating a RAID set, refer to section 4.4 RAID configurations or the manual

bundled in the motherboard support DVD.

• You must install Windows

®

XP Service Pack 1 or later version before using Serial ATA

hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10) is available only if

you are using Windows

®

XP SP1 or later version.

• When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the Configure SATA as in the BIOS to [AHCI].

See section 3.4.2 Storage Configuration for details.
