4. JMicron JMB363 ® Serial ATA RAID connector (7-pin SATA_RAID1)
This connector is for a Serial ATA signal cable. This connector supports
a Serial ATA hard disk drive that you can configure for RAID through the
onboard Serial ATA RAID controller.
The JMicron JMB363 controller item in the BIOS is set to [IDE] by default,
allowing you to enable the hot-plug function for the external device. Set to
[AHCI] to use the connectors to build a RAID set. See section “4.4.7 Onboard
Device Configuration” for details.
Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure that you
have connected the Serial ATA signal cables and installed Serial ATA hard disk
drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the JMicron ® JMB363 RAID utility and SATA
BIOS setup during POST.
