This connector is for a Serial ATA signal cable. It supports a Serial ATA
hard disk drive that you can combine with an external Serial ATA 3Gb/
s device to configure a RAID 0 or RAID 1 set, through the onboard
Silicon Image SATA RAID controller. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on
how to set up Serial ATA RAID configurations.
See section “4.4.4 Onboard Devices Configuration” on page 4-23 for
details.
• Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure
that you have connected the Serial ATA signal cable and installed
Serial ATA hard disk drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the Silicon
Image RAID utility and SATA BIOS setup during POST.
• Use a Serial ATA port multiplier if you want to configure a RAID 5,
RAID 10 or CONCATENATION set.
• Use an external Serial ATA box if you want to configure a RAID 0 or
RAID 1 set.
• The Serial ATA port multiplier and external Serial ATA box are
purchased separately.
