Supported by the Silicon Image
® Sil3114 RAID controller, these
connectors are for Serial ATA signal cables. These connectors support
up to four Serial ATA hard disk drives that can be configured as a disk
array through the onboard Silicon Image Sil3114 SATA RAID
controller. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on how to set up Serial ATA
RAID configurations.
• Before creating a RAID configuration, make sure that you have
connected the Serial ATA cables to these connectors and have
installed the Serial ATA hard disks drives; otherwise, you cannot
enter the Silicon Image RAID utility and Serial ATA BIOS setup during
POST.
• The RAID 5 driver is not Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL)
certified.
• See Appendix for instructions on how to install the Serial ATA
extension module.
