3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, and SATA4)
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 RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 5, RAID 0+1, and JBOD configuration.
• Install the Windows ® XP Service Pack 1 before using Serial ATA.
• If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set
the SATA Mode Select item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode]. See page 2-18
for details.
For detailed instructions on how to configure RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5,
RAID 0+1, and JBOD, refer to the RAID manual in the support DVD.
