• 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 JMicron RAID utility and SATA

BIOS setup during POST.

• If you intend to create a RAID configuration using this connector, set the

JMicron eSATA/PATA Controller Mode item in the BIOS to [RAID]. Setting

this item to [AHCI] supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) function.

See section 4.4.5 Onboard Devices Configuration for details.

• Refer to section 5.4 RAID configurations for details about configuring a

RAID 0, RAID 1, or JBOD.

The external SATA port supports

external Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s

devices. Longer cables support

higher power requirements to

deliver signal up to two meters

away, and enables improved hot-

swap function.

• DO NOT insert a different connector to this port.
• DO NOT unplug the external Serial ATA box when a RAID 0 or JBOD is

configured.
