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 IDE mode by default. In 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 type of the SATA connectors to
[RAID] in the BIOS. See section 3.4.2 SATA Configuration for details.
• You must install Windows ® XP Service Pack 3 or later version before using Serial
ATA hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature is available only if you are using

• When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the type of the SATA connectors to [AHCI] in the
BIOS. See section 3.4.2 SATA Configuration for details.
