3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-4)
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 10 and RAID 5 configuration using the Intel ® Matrix Storage Technology
or RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10 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.

• Use only two Serial ATA RAID connectors for each RAID 0 or RAID 1 set.
• When using the connectors in IDE mode, connect the primary (boot) hard
disk drive to the SATA1 or SATA3 connector. Refer to the table below for the
recommended SATA hard disk drive connections.
