4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA-IDE3, SATA-IDE4)
These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables
for Serial ATA hard disks. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to
150 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with
133 MB/s (Ultra ATA/133).
5. Serial ATA RAID connectors
(7-pin R-SATA1, R-SATA2, R-SATA3, R-SATA4)
These Serial ATA connectors support SATA hard disks that you may
configure as a RAID set. Through the onboard Promise
® PDC20319
RAID controller, you may create a RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, or multi-
RAID configuration.
1. If you wish to create a RAID set, make sure that you have
connected the SATA cable and installed Serial ATA devices. You
cannot enter the SATARaid™ utility and SATA BIOS setup during
POST if there are no connected Serial ATA devices.
2. The Promise ® PDC20319 RAID controller does not support ATAPI
devices such as CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, etc.
