ASUS P5BV Series 2-25
3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
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, RAID
1, RAID 0+1, and RAID 5 configuration using the Intel ® Matrix Storage
Technology or RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 configuration using the LSI
MegaRAID ® utility embedded in the Intel ® ICH7R Southbridge.
These connectors are set IDE mode by default. In IDE mode, you can connect
Serial ATA boot/data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you intend to create
a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the Configure SATA as item
in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section “4.3.5 IDE Configuration” for details.
