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 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

• 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
