2. Marvell ® Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA_6G_1/2 �red�)
These connectors connect to Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s hard disk drives via Serial
ATA 6.0 Gb/s signal cables.
• These connectors are set to IDE mode by default. When using hot-plug and
NCQ, set the Marvell 9128 Controller item in the BIOS to [AHCI Mode]. Refer
to section �.�.� Onboard Devices Configuration for details.
• You must install Windows ® XP Service Pack 2 or later versions before using
Serial ATA hard disk drives.
• Press + during POST to enter the Marvell RAID utility to
create or delete a RAID configuration.
• If you want to install a Windows operating system to a RAID configuration
created using the Marvell SATA controller, you have to create a RAID driver
disk using the motherboard support DVD and load the driver during OS
installation. For 32/64bit Windows XP OS, load first the
Marvell shared
library driver, and then load Marvell 91xx SATA Controller Driver.
For Windows Vista / Windows 7 OS, load only the Marvell 91xx SATA
Controller Driver.
