3. JMicron ® JMB322 Serial ATA connectors
(7-pin SATA_E1 [orange], SATA_E2 [white])
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 an EZ Backup or a Super
Speed configuration with the Drive Xpert Technology through the onboard JMicron ®
JMB322 controller.
• For using Drive Xpert in Windows ® operating system, we recommend that you prepare
three hard disks: one hard disk with operating system already installed, and two hard
disks for Drive Xpert configuration.
• Before using the Drive Xpert technology, ensure that you have connected the SATA
signal cables and installed SATA hard disk drives to the SATA_E1/E2 connectors.
• The SATA_E1 (orange) and SATA_E2 (white) ports are for SATA hard drives only.
ATAPI devices and hot-plug function are not supported.
• Drive Xpert is available only when the hard disk drives connected to SATA_E1
(orange) and SATA_E2 (white) are set as data drives.
Refer to 4.3.4 ASUS Drive Xpert for detailed application instructions.
Before using the Drive Xpert function, ensure that you have back up all your data in your
hard disks.
