AMD

Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_1-6 �red�)

�red�))

These connectors are for the Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s 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, RAID 1, RAID 5,

or RAID 10 configuration through the onboard AMD

®

SB950 controller.

These connectors are set to [AHCI Mode] by default. If you intend to create a Serial

ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the SATA Mode item in the BIOS to [RAID

Mode]. Refer to section 3.5.4 SATA Configuration for details.

Before creating a RAID set, refer to section 5.1 RAID configurations or the manual

bundled in the motherboard support DVD.

When creating a RAID set, set the SATA_5-6 connectors to [AHCI Mode] or [IDE

Mode] to ensure that the system recognizes your ODD device.

When using NCQ, set the SATA Mode in the BIOS to [AHCI Mode]. Refer to section

3.5.4 SATA Configuration for details.

You must install Windows

®

XP Service Pack 3 or later versions before using Serial

ATA hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature is available only if you are using

Windows

®

XP SP3 or later versions.
