2-22 Chapter 2: Hardware information
Important notes on Serial ATA
• In legacy operating system (Win 98, WinME, WinNT, DOS)
environment, using SATA will disable one of the IDE channels from
ICH5R south bridge chipset. See BIOS section for correct setting.
• The Serial ATA cable is smaller and more flexible allowing easier
routing inside the chassis. The lower pin count of the Serial ATA
cable eliminates the problem caused by the wide, flat ribbon cables
of the Parallel ATA interface.
• Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections are not available in
this motherboard.
• Install Windows ® XP™ Service Pack 1 when using Serial ATA.
3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA2, SATA1)
These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables for
Serial ATA hard disks. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to 150
MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with
133MB/s (Ultra ATA133).
