Important notes on the RAID feature:
• By default, the drive that you connect to the PRI_RAID
connector follow the ATA133/100/66/33 protocol as an
independent drive, not as a disk array.
• The RAID/SATA controller chipset does not support ATAPI
devices such as CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, etc.
• Refer to sections “5.5 VIA RAID Configurations” and “5.6 Promise ®
