• For detailed instructions on RAID configurations, refer to the RAID manual in the
Support DVD.
• If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the SATA
Mode Select item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode]. See 2.3.4 Storage Configuration for
details.
• Due to the chipset’s limitation, SATA 5 and SATA 6 do not support IDE mode. They only
support AHCI and RAID modes.
4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-6)
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).
Install the Windows ® XP Service Pack 1 before using Serial ATA.
