7. Intel ® H77 Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA3G_1~4 [blue])
These connectors connect to Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s hard disk drives and optical drives via
Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s signal cables.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 0+1(10)
configurations with the Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology through the onboard Intel ® H77
chipset.
• These connectors are set to [AHCI] by default. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID
set using these connectors, set the SATA Mode Selection item in the BIOS to [RAID].
See section 2.5.3 SATA Configuration for details.
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to the RAID Supplementary Guide included in the
folder named Manual in the support DVD.
• You must install Windows ® XP Service Pack 3 or later version 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 SP3 or later version.
• When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the SATA Mode Selection item in the BIOS to
[AHCI]. See section 2.5.3 SATA Configuration for details.
