Supported by the NVIDIA
® nForce4-4X chipset, these connectors are
for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives that
allow up to 3Gb/s of data transfer rate.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 1+0, or JBOD configuration that spans across the Parallel
ATA drives. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on how to set up RAID
configurations.

• • • • • The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of Serial ATA
hard disks installed.
• • • • • See the Appendix for instructions on how to install the Serial ATA
extension module.
These connectors are set to S A T A S A T A S A T A S A T A S A T A by default. In SATA mode, you can
connect Serial ATA boot or data hard disk drives to these connectors. If
you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors,
enable the R A I D
