• For detailed instructions on RAID configurations, refer to the RAID manual in the

support DVD.

• If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the OnChip

SATA Type item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See page 2-10 for details.

• If you want to do the task as GHOST, we suggest you connect the original

disk to the SATA5 or SATA6

Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4, SATA5, SATA6)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard disk

and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA

1.5Gb/s specification. The data transfer rate of the Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than the

standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA133). If you install Serial ATA hard disk

drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or JBOD configuration through the

onboard SB700 controller.

Install the Windows

XP Service Pack 2 or later version before using Serial ATA.

Optical drive audio in connector (4-pin CD)
This connector allows you to receive stereo audio input from sound sources such as a

CD-ROM, TV tuner, or MPEG card.
