Chapter 2: Hardware information

3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-6)

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, RAID 5, or JBOD configuration with the onboard NVIDIA

®

MediaShield™ RAID controller.

The RAID function of these connectors is set to [Disabled] by default. If you

intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, enable the RAID

Enabled item under the Serial ATA Configuration sub-menu in the BIOS.

These connectors support Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Power

Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm, Hot Swap and smart setup.

• Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the

Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion when you

connect the IDE cable.

• Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 133/100/66 IDE devices.

If any device jumper is set as “Cable-Select,” make sure all other device

jumpers have the same setting.
