• Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure that you
have connected the Serial ATA signal cables and installed Serial ATA hard
disk drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the Marvell RAID utility and SATA
setup during POST.
• If you intend to create a RAID configuration using one of these connectors,
set the Marvell SATA/PATA Controller item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode].
See section 4.5.3 OnBoard Devices Configuration for details.
