4. 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 5, or RAID 10 configuration with the onboard Intel ®
ICH7R 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 IDE Configuration” for details.
When using the connectors in Standard IDE mode, connect the primary
(boot) hard disk drive to the SATA1 or SATA2 connector. Refer to the
table below for the recommended SATA hard disk drive connections.
