SB850 Serial ATA Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA 1-6)

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

®

SB850 controller.

These connectors are set to

Native IDE mode by default. In Native IDE mode, you

can connect Serial ATA boot/data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you intend to

create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the

OnChip SATA Type item

in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section

3.4.2 Storage Configuration for details.

You must install Windows

®

XP Service Pack 2 or later version before using Serial

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

Windows

®

XP SP2 or later version.

When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the

OnChip SATA Type in the BIOS to [AHCI].
