These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk

drives.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID

1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, or JBOD configuration with the onboard NVIDIA

®

MediaShield™ RAID controller.

The RAID function of these connectors is set to [Disabled] by default. If you

intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, enable the RAID

Enabled item under the Serial-ATA Configuration sub-menu in the BIOS. See

section “4.4.6 Onboard Device Configuration” for details.

These connectors support Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Power

Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm, Hot Swap and smart setup.
