Chapter 2: Hardware information
3. ICH9R Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1 [red], SATA2 [red], SATA3
[black], SATA4 [black], SATA5 [red], SATA6 [red])
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk
drives.
If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5,
and 10 configuration with the Intel
®
Matrix Storage Technology through the
onboard Intel
®
ICH9R RAID controller.
• These connectors are set to Standard IDE mode by default. In Standard
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 SATA Configuration for details.
• When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the Configure SATA as in the BIOS to
[AHCI]. See section 4.3.5 SATA Configuration for details.
• For RAID 5, use at least three hard disk drives. For RAID 10, use at least
four hard disk drives. Use two to four Serial ATA hard disk drives for each
RAID 0 or RAID 1 set.
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to 5.4.3 Intel RAID Configuration or the
manual bundled in the motherboard support CD.
