3. Serial ATA connectors (-pin SATA1, SATA, SATA3,
SATA4)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA
hard disk drives. The current Serial ATA I interface allows up to 150
MB/s data transfer rate while Serial ATA II allows up to 300 MB/s data
transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s
(Ultra DMA/133)
Install the Windows ® 000 Service Pack 4 or the Windows ® XP Service
Pack1 before using Serial ATA.
For detailed instructions on how to configure RAID 0, RAID1, RAID0+1,
RAID 5 and JBOD, refer to the RAID manual in the support CD. See page
3-5 for details.
