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 or
RAID 1 configuration with the Intel
® Matrix Storage Technology
through the onboard Intel ® ICH6R RAID controller. Refer to Chapter 5
for details on how to set up Serial ATA RAID configurations.
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

drives to these connectors. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set
using these connectors, set the C o n f i g u r e S A T A A s

• 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) is available only if you are using
Windows
® 2000/XP.
• Use only two Serial ATA RAID connectors for each RAID 0 or RAID 1
set.
• When using the connectors in S S S S S tandard IDE t a n d a r d I D E t a n d a r d I D E t a n d a r d I D E t a n d a r d I D E mode, connect the
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.
• If your chassis supports only six hard disk drives or less, you can use
the Serial ATA extension module to install two additional external
SATA hard disk drives.
