• 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 Marvell RAID utility and SATA
BIOS setup during POST.
• If you intend to create a RAID configuration using one of these connectors,
set the Marvell SATA Controller Mode item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See
section 4.4.5 Onboard Device Configuration for details.
The external SATA ports
support 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.
