3. Serial ATA connectors

(7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA

3.0 Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s is

backward compatible with Serial ATA 1.5 Gb/s specification.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0,

RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, or JBOD configuration through the onboard

NVIDIA

®

MediaShield™ controller.

The RAID function of these connectors is set to [Disabled] by default.

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

enable the RAID Enabled item in the SATA Configuration sub-menu in the

BIOS. See section “4.4.7 Onboard Device Configuration” for details.

Connect the right-angle side

of the SATA signal cable to

the SATA device or you may

connect the right-angle side

of the SATA cable to the

onboard SATA port to avoid

placement conflict with huge

graphics cards.
