2. ICH10R Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA 1-6 [blue])

These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk

drives and optical disc drives.
If you installed 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

®

ICH10R 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 3.3.5 Storage Configuration for details.

• Before creating a RAID set, refer to section 4.4 RAID configurations or

the manual bundled in the motherboard support DVD.

• You must install the Windows

®

XP Service Pack 2 before using Serial ATA

hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10) is

available only if you are using Windows

®

XP SP2 or later version.

• When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the Configure SATA as in the BIOS to

[AHCI]. See section 3.3.5 Storage Configuration for details.
