Installing Serial ATA hard disks

The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal performance, install

identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.

To install the SATA hard disks for a RAID configuration:
1.

Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.

Due to chipset limitation, when set any of SATA ports to RAID mode, all SATA ports run at

RAID mode together.
