These connectors connect to Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s hard disk drives and optical drives via
Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s signal cables.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 0+1(10)
configurations with the Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology through the onboard Intel ® P67
chipset.
• These connectors are set to [AHCI Mode] by default. If you intend to create a Serial ATA
RAID set using these connectors, set the SATA Mode item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode].

• Before creating a RAID set, refer to the RAID Supplementary Guide included in the
folder named Manual in the support DVD.
• You must install Windows ® XP Service Pack 3 or later version before using Serial ATA

you are using Windows ® XP SP3 or later version.
