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

3Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward

compatible with Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s specification. The data transfer rate of the

Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra

DMA133).
If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1,

and JBOD configuration through the onboard controller.

refer to the RAID manual in the support CD.

• If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set

the onboard SATA Type item in the BIOS to [RAID controller]. See the page
